History tells us that the original idea for daylight savings time was proposed in an essay by Ben Franklin .
To be honest, in my weirder moods, I’m not totally convinced that the old boy didn’t have some ulterior motive in mind. Like, for example, A grand experiment. What happens, when you put the entire eastern seaboard on jet lag?
Foresighted people these founders of ours, inventing jet lag before the jet was invented. And for that matter, before anybody really knew that there would be four hours of time difference between what would ultimately be our coasts.
Whatever.
Consider this a reminder; if you’re on the East Coast and you didn’t push your clocks an hour forward last night, you might want to check them. Else, you’re gonna be late for work in the morning.
