Daylight Saving

Its happening early this year! Be sure to TURN YOUR CLOCKS FORWARD THIS SATURDAY when you go to bed! Spring Forward. Because of the early time of daylight saving this year you should check all of you appliances that run on timers or clocks to reset them. See this MSNBC article.

According to one website: "The official spelling is Daylight Saving Time, not Daylight SavingS Time. Saving is used here as a verbal adjective (a participle). It modifies time and tells us more about its nature; namely, that it is characterized by the activity of saving daylight. It is a saving daylight kind of time. Similar examples would be a mind expanding book or a man eating tiger. Saving is used in the same way as saving a ball game, rather than as a savings account."
So there you have it!
