Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?

Sitting at the kitchen table this morning. Basking in the sunlight of our new back windows. Catching up on some reading. And continuing the good vibrations I was feeling yesterday. And today is the first day of spring.

I came across this good read from The New York Times a couple weeks ago about Daylight Saving Time. It's quite amusing to read some of these facts, and I ended up reading almost the entire article out loud to Kates ...

By the mid-19th century ... But all these clocks were like many Americans themselves: individual, conforming to their own notions. There were hundreds of local times, each city setting its city hall or courthouse clock to match its own solar noon. When it was 12 p.m. in Chicago, it was 11:50 a.m. in St. Louis and 12:18 p.m. in Detroit. But that wasn’t a problem because local time was all that mattered. 

Who knew?
