Well it's that time of year again, when we fall back and enjoy that ever so needed extra hour of sleep.  For me it is always a bittersweet day.  Don't get me wrong, I love the extra hour we get but I miss the sun shining after work a lot more. Even as a kid I used to get sad when I would come home from after school activities and it was too dark to go play outside.  Back then I always thought there were little mice that ran clocks; they somehow lived inside the clocks and turned the hands.  I always wondered why they made the sun go away right before Halloween (remember back in the day, daylight savings time was before Halloween, not after).  Boy, do I feel old.  I just thought they were playing a fun Halloween trick on everyone.   Now as a logical adult I realize that mice don't actually move the hands on all of our clocks, or secretly live inside of them.  However, I have still wondered why it is we still uphold daylight savings time.  Below is a short, very dry and sarcastic, view of daylight savings time that I found amusing and insightful.  It gives an interesting viewpoint on whether or not daylight savings time is truly needed.  In my opinion, vitamin D is amazing and I wouldn't mind it if daylight savings time somehow vanished.  Maybe those sneaky little mice could run away with it!  Enjoy!
