Daylight Saving time had always been a bit confusing to me. I had trouble remembering when to set my clock forward and when to set it back. Then someone gave me this helpful advice: Spring forward and Fall back!
That worked fine. Then one day Jack Lee, for many years sports editor of the News-Argus, reminded me: “But you can also Spring back and Fall forward!.
That did it haven’t been able to keep it straight since.
But the whole business reminds me of the fellow who cut a foot off one end of his blanket and sewed it onto the other, thinking he’d end up with a longer blanket.
