Turn on the light, Will Ya?

If I weren’t so sleepy, I could probably figure out something to write about tonight. But as it is….. I can barely keep my eyes open… for some dang reason.

I figure I am going to blame ALL of it…. on William Willett.

You see…. old Bill Willett was the first guy mainly credited to the invention of Daylight Savings Time. He came up with the idea in 1905.  Yep. He thought it would be a good thing to move the clocks forward in the summer to take advantage of the daylight in the mornings…. not to mention and the lighter evenings.

So William Willett suggested moving the clocks 20 minutes forward each of four Sundays in April. Just 20 minutes. An then… he thought we could switch them back by the same amount on four Sundays in September.

Bright idea. No pun intended.
But now, the older I get…. the more convoluted it all seems. It gets dark in the middle of the day. This isn’t Alaska for crying out loud. I CAN’T see Russia from my house….. …. …..

But… before I get all wrapped up in this…
I guess I’ll just wrap it up.

So… all I have it this photo of a vine wrapping its way around a fence post. None too exciting or informative, I know.

But I’m still on the fence about all this. Falling off that fence …. sleepily.
