Double Hourglass

 


It’s that time again. Unless you live in Hawaii or Arizona (or some other sensible place that doesn’t observe Daylight Saving Time), you’ll want to turn your clocks forward one hour tonight. I won’t have to reset ALL my clocks this year. My cell phone will reset itself sometime during the night. I have a clock in the basement that uses radio frequency to adjust itself. And the clock in my car, which has been wrong since last November, will suddenly be right again. I just have to get used to KNOWING it’s right, which may prove even harder than resetting it. 33 states have recently passed laws to make DST a permanent thing. Utah was one of them. But for it to go into effect, four other “western” states would have to join in. And the federal government would have to approve. I guess I’m not holding my breath.
