Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for November 06, 2023

Smooth move Arlo.

Yeah. That was the right response. 8^ )

Hello darkness,

my old friend.

Why are you here?

It’s 5:00 p.m.

Good idea – don’t explain.

Time is an illusion, lunchtime doubly so.

Wise move, Arlo. Wise move.

I remember one of my 7th grade students saying, “I hate winter. My parents let me play outside until the street lights come on. In the summer, that’s 9:00, but in the winter, it’s 5:30.” Such is life.

Arlo, here remind me of my Uncle Ted’s saying, “Kinda makes you stop and think.”

We’ve changed the clocks a week ago and yet, we had almost the same conversation yesterday….lol!

I hate switching time more every year! I’d have thought this do-nothing congress would have welcomed the chance to make a change that most of the country wants and nobody would have to give up any concessions.

I live on the eastern side of my time zone. It was dark at 6 pm before turning the clocks back.

Love clocks back! Makes the noisy neighbors go back inside and the dinnertime leaf blowers are silenced. Being a morning person, the sun up earlier makes me happy.

Filters are our friends.

Ah Grasshopper, you have attained wisdom.

Takes a few days to get over the jetlag of instantly jumping one whole timezone.

6 o’clock??? I want to live where they do; it was 5 here in SE Michigan

Thinking before speaking, Arlo….good call!

Good thinking, Arlo!

Very response-able.

We have deduced what time is.

Judging from what my body feels likes at — years old, time is not an illusion.

CLOCK time is a fake construct, though.

You are a wise man, Arlo Day! (At least today.)

Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.

You’re learning, Arlo.

{Sort! Inspect! Analyze! Grade! Reject! Reject! Reject! BINGO!}

“Me, either…”

I’d like to see DST all year. It’s nice to be able to walk across the parking lot after work when it’s still light outside.

I went through and changed all the clocks on Saturday. Then there was a power outage this morning and I get to do it all again.

The filter worked!

good move Arlo….the secret to a long marriage….keep your mouth shut

Today – Sunrise was 7:05 and Sunset 16:24, it was dark when I got in at 17:00

I’m with Arlo.

Before I could read, I could look at the position of the sun and know Disney’s Musketeers were about to come on TV. Daylight Savings time probably would have confused me, though.

Wise Arlo. That was the best answer to say.

Ugh! I hate November!!

Good choice……

Time is flowing like a river to the sea…til its gone forever… Pink Floyd

Good save, Arlo.

At least he didn’t go through the same menu of responses as the Terminator

A very good friend of mine recently passed from pancreatic cancer. He was given 6 months to live. Even with surgery, radiation and chemo he made it 5 months. For people who loved him those months were here and gone in moments. For him: the pain, the sickness, the loss of physical abilities made time a cruel task master. Time may be an illusion per Einstein but, per Einstein, it is also relative.

I hate it getting dark at 4:00…

“In winter I get up at night and dress by yellow candlelight. In summer quite the other way, I have to go to bed by day. …” Robert Louis Stevenson

Here is something which I really do not understand. The front of our house faces east (and of course the rear faces west).

I will look our front window EARLY in the morning (before falling asleep) and it will be dark outside – no sign of sun, only the street lights. I will go for that last trip to the bathroom at the rear of the house. I will see the sunlight starting the day in the west?
