Daylight Saving Time (United States) 2015, 2:00 AM, March 9th.

That means Spring Forward ( lose one hour) already.

Via It Is What It Is

Daylight saving time (DST)—also summer time in British English— is the practice of advancing clocks during the lighter months so that evenings have more daylight and mornings have less. Typically clocks are adjusted forward one hour near the start of spring and are adjusted backward in autumn.

The modern idea of daylight saving was first proposed in 1895 by George Vernon Hudson  and it was first implemented by Germany and Austria-Hungary starting on 30 April 1916. Many countries have used it at various times since then. Much of the United States used DST in the 1950’s and 1960’s, and DST use expanded after the 1970’s energy crisis. It has been widely used in North America and Europe since then.

So thank you National Geographic for putting it out there.  First, the premise put forward in 1917 that DST would energy has little relevance 100 years later.

Winter Blues 2015.

Ok, I am sick of this weather. If I hear the words polar vortex again, but that was last year.  But the below zero wind chills has got me crazed.  I know I have exhibited Seasonal affective disorder but the indoor bulbs I need to help aren’t located in the salons within driving distance.  I managed a tanning salon for five years.  I know with expertise the positive effects of indoor tanning.

But I just want a R/T ticket to the Keys for the weekend. I want the warmth of the sun on my body desperately.

Really, I want to able to wear my flip flops. ❤
