There is nothing good about Daylight Savings Time. Yet, we keep doing it.

As I said, your government at work.

Here's one more from former NYC TRaffic Commissioner Sam Schwartz's latest weekly update:

Daylight savings time kicks in 2 a.m. Sunday! Monday is an Accident Alert Day, drive carefully - the cumulative effect of 4 million drivers in the metro area losing 4 million hours of sleep Sunday night means crashes are likely to jump by 17%. Make sure you're fully awake before hitting the road. My recommendation: get to work a half-hour later on Monday. Tell your boss Gridlock Sam wants you to arrive alive!
