38. I like "falling back",

Fri Jul 10, 2026, 10:56 PM

Friday

as I actually would like a 27 hour day.

I used to hate, I mean absolutely hate the "spring forward", even though I'd also like to spring 2 hours and just leave it there.

Then one year, I forget where I heard this, on Saturday I changed all my clocks ahead then did everything according to that time and Sunday it was no big deal. By Monday morning I was used to it. So that's what I do now every year.

I'd still like to leave it so it's dark later in the morning and light later in the evening. If I move again, I intend to move north and near the west end of a time zone. Others might want to move to the east end of a time zone.
