I've never been a big fan of the time change; Spring forward, Fall back, that crap. For one thing, there's all those clocks to deal with. Bedrooms; three clocks. Kitchen; two clocks. Office; two clocks. With the exception of one tick-tock here in the Man Cave, all the rest are digital which means you have to use your Sunday morning, fogged up brain, to figure out how to reset the damn things. Two of the clocks, of their own free will, decided to adjust to a whole new time about a week ago when the time change used to take effect. Whassup with that? Wasn't it president W. that screwed that up; decided it wasn't right to go with the change on the customary dates? Something about saving money? For who? Can't recall that it saved me any dough. So now we have that little reset to deal with as well as the official reset.
There's the clock on the cable box, but it changes automatically thanks be to whoever controls that function. And wonder of wonders, my little ol' Casio wrist watch, total cost $34, is tuned to some atomic clock rumored to be in Colorado, also switches to the correct time (to the second I might add) exactly at the stroke of 2:00 a.m. or is 3:00? Spring back, Fall forward? It's so confusing.
Then there's our internal clocks, the ones that tell us when it's time to wake up and when to go beddy-bye. How do you adjust that little time piece at 2 a.m. in the freakin' morning? Answer is, you don't. You wake up, the light outside is different, somethings wrong, it's a Twilight Zone thing. Something strange has happened during the night but you can't put your finger on it, not early on a Sunday morning anyway. It's three hours and a half a pot of coffee later that you realize your life pattern has changed and will stay that way for what, another six months when you have to suffer through it all over again?
And what about this? Did you damn time changers just once consider us Sunday Morning Bloody Mary drinkers? Huh? Thousands, maybe millions of us, whose routines have now been thrown into shambles? I think not. Oh, the humanity!
Einstein theorized that space and time, (spacetime) was warped by mass, producing gravity.
ReplyDeleteHe may have miscalculated while working in that Swiss Postoffice years ago. He should have realized that it is the Bloody Mary (BM), not gravity, which alters spacetime.
These todies warp spacetime and create a force called the "Dopeler-Time Effect". This is the tendancy for stupid ideas to seem rational and for time to be immaterial while in distorted, BM induced, spacetime. Pity Einstein is not around to recalculate his mathmatics, he likely had a lot of experience with German beer, which has a similar effect to BMs in producing Dopler-Time Effects.
LOL! Can't compete Bill's comment, but wholeheartedly agree. What would be wrong with a 30 minutes compromise and just leave it be??
