National Napping Day

"Happy Daylight Saving Time", said no one ever. So, today - March 14, 2022, is National Napping Day.

National Napping Day is observed annually the day following the return of daylight saving time (DST). It recognizes a need many of us have after losing an hour of sleep after springing our clocks ahead an hour.

By the way, less than 40% of the countries in the world pit their populace (about 25% of the world's people) through this torture. I am on the side of the abstainers.


Messing with Time

It seems that almost everybody complains about the time shift. I was going to write a screed about the evil of messing with time. But, with all the troubles in the world today that just seems so trivial. Suffice it to say that there are valid reasons not to have DST, some of them health related.
