Due to the 1973 oil embargo, Congress enacted a trial period of year-round daylight saving time from January 1974 to April 1975 in order to conserve energy.

"And yet the early-morning darkness quickly proved dangerous for children: A 6-year-old Alexandria girl was struck by a car on her way to Polk Elementary School on January 7; the accident broke her leg. Two Prince George’s County students were hurt in February. In the weeks after the change, eight Florida kids were killed in traffic accidents. Florida’s governor, Reubin Askew, asked for Congress to repeal the measure. “It’s time to recognize that we may well have made a mistake,” US Senator Dick Clark of Iowa said during a speech in Congress on January 28, 1974. In the Washington area, some schools delayed their start times until the sun caught up with the clock."

Very interesting.

Good news for DR Laura, if the law passes you won't have to follow it.

Jane · « **Reply #103 on:** March 17, 2022, 05:59:44 PM »

At least I am pretty sure Arizona, etc. won't have to change.

My friend Margo has arrived to see the show tonight.

George · « **Reply #109 on:** March 17, 2022, 07:20:26 PM »

And now, we're at five minutes to places.

George · « **Reply #110 on:** March 17, 2022, 07:21:31 PM »

Tonight after the show, some of us in the cast and crew are going out to do some karaoke-ing.

George · « **Reply #111 on:** March 17, 2022, 07:22:11 PM »

I love performing in shows, but I don't care to karaoke.

George · « **Reply #112 on:** March 17, 2022, 07:22:57 PM »

So, I'll observe, support and enjoy the aftershow entertainment.

I won't karaoke,

Don't ask me!

Watching one of those all-star oddities from the 1930s called You Can't Have Everything with Alice Faye, the Ritz Brothers, Don Ameche, Charles Winninger, Rubinoff the violinist, Tony Martin, Arthur Treacher, Louis Prima and his Band, plus a novelty act called Tip, Tap and Toe. A certain Louise Hovick, who couldn't make movies under her stage name of Gypsy Rose Lee, is the second lady, the one who gets to pitch fits and scream a lot.

John G. · « **Reply #117 on:** March 17, 2022, 08:40:29 PM »

The songs are by Mack Gordon and Harry Revel.

John G. · « **Reply #118 on:** March 17, 2022, 08:42:00 PM »

I doubt I'll even get half way through tonight.
