Just to see if I could do it… Since I was up at 1 a.m. in real-time, I decided to attempt to catch the daylight savings time in real-time on multiple devices. Attempting to screenshot the online clock when all my devices reverted from 2 a.m. to 1 a.m. reminded me of those ancient Commodore 64 timer games. In high school in 1983, the chemistry teacher Daniel Lynn had his Commodore 64 set up in class. Each of us attempted to hover over the keyboard and jam a key when the screen flashed. My reaction time was that of a drugged hamster. I had to look the teacher’s name up. It could have been Aloicious Dragonlegs, and it wouldn’t have surprised me. It wasn’t until I looked him up in the way that I do that memories came back to me, ones I hadn’t thought of in years. This morning, I counted the last thirty seconds and closed my eyes on the last ten as 2 a.m. neared. And clicked, catching the clock reverting exactly.

As for DST, the effects of it are as insidious as those of being left-handed in a right-handed world. I hope I live long enough to see this stupidity eradicated. And not only that, but eliminated. (An old joke of mine, repeating synonymous words as if I don’t know what the original means.)
