Tempus fugit Backwards


Yes it is off topic but did y'all turn your clocks back last night. Thank goodness my computer has a mind of it's own.

    I have an interest in time both backward and forward (it's probably related to my interest in coin collecting).

    We really just need to go to real time; international time and be done with all the nonsense. If you think
    it's bad when you stay in one place you should see the hoops through which ships must jump to stay abreast
    with local time and local laws. A ship can have to change its time three or four times a day and even its
    calender. They can be in trouble if they come into port with the wrong time on their clocks. The real irony here
    is that neither the ship's captain nor the local authorities are likely to know that midnight falls on no day at all
    so if the port is expecting the ship at midnight on Thursday it might come late on Wednesday or late on Thurs-
    day.

    Maybe if we switched to real time we could get all the clocks agreeing with one another like they did up until
    the computer came around. Internet time is some minutes off real time and each site misses internet time. You
    can watch new years eve on almost every television channel because they all have different times and they're
    all off significantly. Maybe if we got on the same time people would tired of moving the clock twice a year.

    Franklin might have been joking when he suggested daylight savings time. He certainly had a dry sense of humor.
    Tempus fugit.
