You are not alone. Daylight savings time was first introduced as a fuel-saving measure in Germany during World War I. It may have worked for Kaiser Wilhelm, but in the modern world it leads to an increase in car accidents, heart attacks and work-related injuries. Not to mention spousal crabbiness.
Today is Albert Einstein's birthday, born in 1879. It is also National Pi Day in his honor. Pi is a number that never ends...at least no one has found the end yet, but we keep trying.
Pi has been calculated to over one trillion digits beyond its decimal point. Mathematicians describe it as "an irrational and transcendental number that will continue infinitely without repetition or pattern."
Something to contemplate while making a Pi Day pie.
