Fix Daylight Saving Time for good!
Harry S Truman once said, “It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.” Well, he kinda said that, and for sure liked the idea, which is great. But that idea was probably first written down by a guy in England, who heard a Jesuit priest say it [ ]
I haven t been writing much here, even though things have been busier than ever behind the scenes.
