Music, as Dick Clark once said, is the soundtrack of your life. Even if you weren’t exactly aware of that, it’s true.

Since the day of the transition will be 25 hours long, we gain an extra hour. Basically, an hour is lost when DST ends and standard time begins. It’s believed that Benjamin Franklin originated […]
