An Inch An Hour

From December 21st through February we gain about 2 minutes of sunshine on each side of sunrise and sunset. Its a slow slog that is barely noticeable until that one sunny day in February when you actually get to leave work while it was still light out. Then, all of the sudden, BAM! Saturday night clocks go ahead an hour and I'm left struggling to comprehend why my I missed a whole hour of curling coverage. It says here that it was done to conserve energy but I still think it is a ploy by Major League Baseball to get more people to watch their games. How you ask? I haven't got a clue but it does coincide awfully suspiciously with baseball season. All I know is that I really enjoyed noticing that it was 7:30 when the sun finally set last night. That, to me, is the first real sign that spring is actually on the way.

Pace out.

Here's to 4 Minutes a day...

Enough time to listen to The Hip

"an inch an hour two feet a day
to move through night
in this most fashionable way."
