Overheard in a checkout line yesterday:
Shopper #1: “Tomorrow night’s Daylight Savings Time.”
Shopper #2: “Yeah. ‘Spring Ahead’, right? So we lose an hour of sleep.”
Shopper #1: “Yeah… but maybe the extra hour of sunlight will help melt all this snow!”

Yeah, but that extra hour of darkness later will turn the melt to ice.
What worries me is using clocks to force the sun into quantum leaps in its diurnal movement around the earth, especially if people are not all springing forward or falling back simultaneously since that might cause global warming or global cooling – or something even worse!

HJH,
Not to worry. Only two men can “force the sun into quantum leaps in its diurnal movement” — Big Al Einstein and Jesus Christ. And I’m not sure about the latter …
TBH,
Apparently me’n the ROK Perfessor ain’t gettin’ to you in the “Physicist Terms” to git you to the true proofs we’rn er most concerned about.
“Hillbilly” Henry is written in such a way conferring the direst soonest and latest. Thus –
should be considered – “touches added” so’s to fool the Teachers of Reg’lar Diction into thinkin we, as kids, studied.
That’s all mule turds on a downhill slope Preachin’ Eloquent and Damnation.

Me’n Jeff don’t give a hoot in hell ’bout diurnals or, for that matter, warming ner cooling rather, as Perfessor Jeff so Hillbilly Abely states;
Which is Henry – Hillbillys learned early on the Earth wobbles on its axis – and this is important
Hillbillys is mainly concerned with “Consistent Planting Seasons.”
Sorry. Misspelt “axle.”
Sorry, JK. I am totally lost in translation …
