Contrary to popular belief Daylight Saving Time has nothing to do with farmers. It was introduced in the United States during World War 1 as a means to save coal used for heating homes. Today most states in the US still follow Daylight Saving Time, although there are efforts in some, like Minnesota, to get rid of the time shift.
Fall is officially here! The crisp, cool air has arrived, the trees are starting to show their colors, Halloween decorations are popping up, and thrift stores are overflowing with costumes.
Do you remember last year when the Senate passed the Daylight Protection Act? Everyone thought daylight saving time would be over, but here we are confused.
If you live in Minnesota or Wisconsin, consider this about making Daylight Saving Time permanent, eliminating the "fall back" and "spring ahead" every year.
So many people from Minnesota are complaining about Daylight Saving Time, Spring forward, Fall behind. Minnesota Representative Mike Freiberg heard them.
After a long, grueling, cold, snowy, and stressful winter, we finally can see the light. Quite literally we can see the light. Daylight Saving Time is coming up.
