It was the first Monday of April It's the first Monday of April, which means the effect of having magical gnomes spirit away one of our precious hours over the weekend really sinks in. Did you wake up on time this morning? My professor sure didn't. But in truth, we should be grateful that we have Daylight Savings Time. The dire consequences of not having it should not be overlooked. When would we change our smoke detector batteries? How would we learn how to work the time-setting functions on our microwaves, ovens, VCRs, phones, cars, and other time-telling devices (maybe clocks and watches, if you use those antiques)? The magical gnomes are already vastly underemployed. If they don't even get their two days of glory, what will happen to them? posted by Beetle Aurora Drake 4/05/2004 10:51:00 AM # Comments (0) . . .
