Instead of turning the clocks forward an hour, we turn them back 23 hours and get almost a whole extra Saturday. In the fall, will turn them back 25 hours. Two 3-day weekends! Who's with me?

And the sponsors of that bill stuck in my mind, the odd combination of Senators Whitehouse and Rubio. But it never went to the House, I have no idea why. I told others about it at the time, but nothing ever came of it...

Back when I was in college, they did away with standard time.
For reasons I don't understand, people hated it.
So, they overwrote the law to back to the time change twice a year.
Probably why a new proposal won't gain much traction.
