After putzing around trying to reset the digital clocks Sunday morning, I thought to do a mini-rant Blogpost about why it is so problematic doing that. The clocks’ reset buttons either don’t work properly or when you finally get them to do so, you overshoot the time you want to land on and what should be a fairly simple task is far more difficult than it need or ought to be. (One year, I just waited until noon to reset all of them.)
But the more I stewed about what a waste of my time it is setting the time, I landed back on a solution that I have discussed here previously: stop messing with changing the time and make either Day Light Saving or Standard Time permanent. I don’t care which one, just set it and forget it. As titled – lock the clock.
Too, I have discussed previously that there is a bipartisan bill in Congress on this very matter dubbed the Sunshine Protection Act. The Senate has passed it but it is currently stuck in the House. This from an article on the bill’s status:
To me, it seems like an idea whose time has come. (See what I did there?)
And speaking of the dawn’s early light, Scott McAfee is the Georgia judge in the “I-need-11,000-votes-case” against Honest Don. McAfee has an undergraduate degree in music from Emory University where he attended on a scholarship for playing cello in their orchestra (click here.) (Scholarships for playing a cello, who knew?) He is shown here doing “justice” to Jimi’s version of the Star Spangled Banner albeit via a cello.
