      So this is the autumn equinox eh?

      Googled it this morning.

      Autumn Equinox 2017 in Northern Hemisphere was at 3:02 PM on Friday, September 22

      All times are in Central Time.

      Did noticed the temps change from the 90's to the 70's today like an autumn switch.

      Summer did seem a tad late this year and spring wasn't really wet this year.

          There has been chit chat about doing away with daylight savings time changes due to the fact that we are not saving any time doing this and originally when implemented it did save time in a virtual sense.

          The chit chat only comes though when we change time twice a year. After this it is always forgotten until the next time we change time.

          Thinking it was implemented to save working time.

          That said time is relative any how.

            It was implemented so folks who make cash on golf can have an extra hour of daylight at the time of day when most people play it.

            Think I say this in jest? Look into it. You can't make this stuff up. Disgusting. And it had nothing to do with "the farmers". They were some of the loudest opponents to the whole stupid idea. Day light saving. Faugh. Dumber than a sack of stones.

              Well sort of...from the wiki...

              Modern DST was first proposed by the New Zealand entomologist George Hudson, whose shift work job gave him leisure time to collect insects and led him to value after-hours daylight. In 1895 he presented a paper to the Wellington Philosophical Society proposing a two-hour daylight-saving shift, and after considerable interest was expressed in Christchurch, he followed up in an 1898 paper.

              Many publications credit DST proposal to the prominent English builder and outdoorsman William Willett, who independently conceived DST in 1905 during a pre-breakfast ride, when he observed with dismay how many Londoners slept through a large part of a summer day. An avid golfer, he also disliked cutting short his round at dusk. His solution was to advance the clock during the summer months, a proposal he published two years later.

              The proposal was taken up by the Liberal Member of Parliament (MP) Robert Pearce, who introduced the first Daylight Saving Bill to the House of Commons on February 12, 1908. A select committee was set up to examine the issue, but Pearce's bill did not become law, and several other bills failed in the following years. Willett lobbied for the proposal in the UK until his death in 1915.

              BTW here have always enjoyed playing Golf. Never have bet money on Golf here.

              That said have made a few decisions (money decisions) on a simple golf game.

              Not really betting though...just pleasant discussions mostly...
