> You can tell I'm having a slow day :-) Today, Sunday March 8th, 2015, is the DST Transition day, so-called Spring Forward, so today has only 23 hours. Count them, 23 hours. In the Fall, we have a day with 25 hours.
So, is today a slow day? If you pile in the same activity and number of events today as any other ordinary 24 hour Sunday, then you might say it is a Fast Day. I mean, Events per Hour must go up if Events are constant and hours drop by 1. But, it could also be a fast day just merely thinking that at 23 hours, there is less time to complete this day and thus tomorrow comes more quicker -- thus, today must be faster. How is it that your day is slower? 73, phil, K7PEH P.S. Yes, I am waiting for the varnish to dry on the raised panel door out in the garage. When you are waiting, time marches on at a slower pace -- so, maybe today is a slow day if you are waiting for something. > On Mar 8, 2015, at 1:53 PM, Phil Wheeler <[email protected]> wrote: > > They moved the length of DST due to energy conservation issues, Kevin: > > "The current schedule was introduced in 2007 and follows the Energy Policy > Act of 2005 <http://www.timeanddate.com/laws/us/energypolicyact2005.html>, > which extended the period by about one month.
