(http://camdenblogs.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/imag0356.jpg) I just wanted to send out a reminder that this weekend you need to set your clocks back one hour before you go to bed on Saturday night.  I love the fact that we get an extra hour of sleep but I hate it now during the work week that it gets dark before you leave work.  You get home from work and feel like you need to throw on the jam-bo's and get ready for bed and then you look at the clock and it is only 7:30 pm.  I heard on the radio this morning(98.9..I do believe)  that one of the reasons for time change is for the railroad system and that Amtrak trains actually stop moving for an hour during time change.  In the past, I have also heard the reason for time change is for the farmers to get longer hours during the summer for farming.  So.....I am not really sure as to the scientific reason for the time change in the Spring and Fall.  If you have heard of any other reasons for the time change, I would love to hear your comments. I hope everyone enjoys their weekend and the extra hour of sleep you will get on Saturday night !!!
