Daylight Saving: The Unnecessary, Self-Inflicted Trial of Our Age
Welcome back to Lincoln at a Glance! I know the title may have misled you, but after years of soul searching, a reason for daylight saving has finally made itself known.

Just like that, daylight saving was invented! So be grateful for the trials that make you who you are.
