Time Travel...

I woke up and time travelled last night. I know because when I rolled over to check the clock it was 3 AM, which means I woke up a few minutes before 2 AM and it took me an hour to roll over. Or I time travelled to the future. And since even I'm not that slow at rolling over (I have to be slow because I have one to two cats draped across my legs and I have to move slowly so as not to wake them. Not just because they are spoiled but because if you wake them up they assume it's time for everyone to get up and eat and play) I know I time travelled.

A few years ago I was in New York with friends and we were heading back to our hotel when the time changed the other direction. My friend Shay said something about not really being tired even though it was 2 AM and then we all watched the clock in the cab change to 1 AM. And we laughed and laughed. I mean, we all could have been a little tipsy too, but it seemed like the time gods were telling her it was "only" 1 AM and that's why she wasn't tired.

Time travel.

Not nearly as cool as I had imagined as a kid.

I hate the time shifting. I've written about it before. I don't care which one we pick, I just wish we would pick one and stick with it. I live in the PNW so no matter what happens there will be too little light in the winter (about 8 1/2 hours) and an overabundance (about 15 1/2) of it in the summer. Either way we go we will all get used to it. It will become normal. We will make the needed adjustments for better lighted bus stops, or later school start times. Alaska handles it. We can handle it.

This is actually something Trump has talked about getting rid of. Marco Rubio has sponsored bills to get rid of it as well. Why can't there be an EO or a State Department demand about this? Where is DOGE and their this is wasteful chainsaw slashing of moving time back and forth? I mean, it would join the stop minting the penny as the second thing I've agreed with Trump on. I mean, look at the bipartisanship! Look at the unification!

But, alas, no. We are stuck bouncing back and forth.

Because Trump isn't brave enough to battle Big Time.
