Why? He was an avid golfer who hated cutting short his Summer rounds on the links. Again, the idea failed to catch on.<\/p>\n \u2713 The Germans and their allies were the first to implement Daylight Saving Time as a way of conserving coal during WW1. Britain and many other European countries followed the example.<\/p>\n \u2713 All Canadian provinces were on DST by the 1970s, except the majority of Saskatchewan, which stays on Central Standard Time year-round.<\/p>\n Here are four other things you should ALSO do this weekend . . .<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n FRIDAY MARCH 6TH<\/sup> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n TODAY\u2019S BIRTHDAYS <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n [73] Rob Reiner, movie producer-director<\/p>\n [61] Tom Arnold, actor (\u201cTrue Lies\u201d)\/TV actor (\u201cRosanne\u201d 1989-1993)<\/p>\n [53] Connie Britton, actress-producer (\u2018Rayna Jaymes\u2019 on \u201cNashville\u201d 2012-2017)<\/p>\n [48] Shaquille O\u2019Neal, retired basketball player (15-time All-Star, 4-time NBA Champion)<\/p>\n ——————————————————————————————————————————-<\/p>\n <\/p>\n PIT 4 – BUF 2 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 TBL 4 – MTL 0<\/strong> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 BOS 2 – FLA 1 OT \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 NYR 6 – WSH 5 OT \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 PHI 4 – CAR 1<\/p>\n OTT 4 – NYI 3 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>NSH 2 – DAL 0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 CHI 4 – EDM 3 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 LAK 1 – TOR 0 SO<\/strong> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 MIN 3 – SJS 2<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n _________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n It’s National Day of Unplugging!
