For those of you who don’t keep up with current events, you read that title right.  Next Sunday, March 10th, it’s time once again to participate in this national game we call “Daylight Savings Time”, in which we will collectively move our clocks ahead by one hour to somehow believe we are taking advantage of the earth’s tilt and rotation, gaining an additional hour of daylight each day.
