Daylight Savings Time

Dear Reader:

I feel sure that all the controversy… surrounding some erroneous historical facts… over the years… about daylight saving time… now coupled with increasing medical warnings about the time-change causing health issues has lead many people to wonder why we keep an-out-dated concept to help our farmers and agricultural input when we are a complex industrial society.

Does it really help that many farmers in certain locations -worthy of the change?

I never thought much about it growing up until I began teaching and boy…. I lost several days of class concentration amid yawns and heads on desks and middle school teachers and students waiting on late afternoon buses in the growing darkness.

Afternoon sports practices had to be played under electric lights. As a mother and teacher attending evening college classes for a higher degree… I left and returned in the dark.

Since it is mid-afternoon… the days will slowly but surely turn darker sooner!

But for the Tigers and Dabo… the new change brought renewed hope after defeating Notre Dame… new hope for days ahead and a much deserved honor for him!

So until tomorrow all the Ya’s would appreciate lots of prayers for Jackson’s younger sister Emily who had to be air-transported from the Hampton hospital to Roper for open heart surgery! Emily needs our love and prayers from all who can empathize what the family is going through!!!
