Daylight Savings Time
I guess most of us in North America have to set the clocks forward one hour tomorrow. I'm not sure how relevant this practice is anymore as most of our lives aren't tied to the rising and setting of the sun anymore, like it was for our fathers and grandfathers. Heck, I wouldn't mind if we all lived on UTC, at least the world would have something in common.

Well here in the midwest it's nice to have the extra hour of light in the evening so I can stay out longer bicycling before it gets dark!!!

My motto is, "you ain't a drunk if you only drink in the daylight". Thank goodness for DST.
