Yawn

Time flies when you're having fun- or so goes the saying.

What happens when we "fall back"? A cartoon this weekend made me smile as a child who heard that we'd gone back an hour, was disappointed that his broken toy was not back to what it had been.

Using the "new" GALILEO a General full text search for Daylight Savings Time pulled up articles in Academic Search Complete that referred to last Springs time change while Research Library pulled up articles referring to this past weekends time change.

I did a search in the new GALILEO limiting my search to ERIC (looking for a thesis on Daylight Savings Time), the Hospitality and Tourism Complete database, and the Grorgia Government Publications. Two articles came up in Hospitality - one 2 year old article touting a hotel in NY offering nap beds after the Spring time change.

There aren't many articles talking about what a nuisance it is to change clocks. I guess we're just used to it!
