Hi & Hello. We finally made it. Daylight Savings time is here once again, and the feeling of Spring is with us. From now till early November we will be treated to some of the best days of warm sunshine, and the good feeling of spending time outside. A few years ago, President George W. Bush signed into law that we should enjoy an extra month of quality daylight. Moving the extended period three weeks earlier in March, and one week in early November. It was suggested that it will put a smile on our faces with the extra hours to spend time with family, friends and maybe go shopping, helping to cut down on crime, or just the good feeling to appreciate nature at its best. Yes, let us begin to welcome the great months ahead. CHARGE!!!
