here's how it all works. in 1784 he writes a satirical essay recommending that the frenchies wake up before noon. pretty sure there was something about using less candles in there too.
next thing you know, the british take off with this idea.
now, i have to wake up an hour earlier for work and endure a painful headache all afternoon.
so, benny boy, you may have had your heyday -- you know, helping establish liberty in america and all -- but today, sir, i take issue with you.
tomorrow we might be friends again. stay tuned.

boolicious...
you make me smile. i missed you a lot today. feels like its been forever since i last saw your face.
well, im always trying to get people to move to hawaii. especially people like you who i love so dearly and this is yet another reason! we dont even acknowledge this sick tradition. we shun it. :)
I like daylight savings. Kate sleeps in to 7:00 instead of 6:00. But it did come awfully early this year.
i take issue with him too
Plus, he liked Frenchies. That's TWO strikes, Benny. I guess we can let it slide for the "few" contributions he made that actually make life a little better. But I'm watching him like a hawk...
oh you read my mind... i was wondering where daylight savings time comes from-- and now i know!
that darn ben franklin. it's a shame we honor his face on the $100 bill.
Can I see you two soon? I am needed a bit of Jones in my life.
and p.s. ben, you look rather portly in this picture.
