Daylight Saving Time: Not Dark Before Dinner!
Daylight Saving Time started in the US early Sunday morning. Every year, twice a year, when we change the clocks I note what the change feels like.
The most noticeable change this time is that it's no longer dark by dinnertime. Yes, it's also dark now when my 6:45am weekday alarm rings, but this time around getting up earlier hasn't been an imposition. No, what's caught me by surprise the past few days is how dinnertime comes around before dark. Three days in a row now, I've looked at my clock and said, "Wow, it's almost/after 7pm!" before fixing dinner.
