spring forward

March 10, 2007

Life up here at the 47th parallel gives special meaning and importance to Daylight Savings. Springing forward is a symbolic step towards the time when it really really is "a nice day for a bike ride eh buddy?"  Yeah I know you want my job on a day like this.

There is nearly an eight hour difference in the daylight hours between our winters and our summers. And this little tweak of the clock on this end of that cycle is a reminder of that. In LA or San Diego or Miami or Atlanta losing an hour perhaps is just an annoyance. But for me up here is Seattle it's so much more than that.

Back to riding to work in the dark. What cracks me up is all the people freaking out about computers and such not knowing what to do with the new March switch. It's like a mini Y2K panic.

I actually heard someone on the news refer to this as another terrifying y2k. Because it was so terrifying when everything was alright.
