One consequence of the recent time change away from daylight savings time is that night is falling between five and six in the evening. Today, as I was making my way to my car at a quarter past five, I was treated to this beautiful display put on by clouds over the Mediterranean, with a little help from the setting sun. I still think changing the clocks is stupid; we should simply stay on daylight savings time all year. One argument in favor of falling back put forth by the government is that it allows children to go to school in daylights. That’s terrific until one realizes that they will have to get home in darkness. A lot of sense that makes... When I was a kid, school simply started an hour earlier in the summer, and the clocks never changed. I guess that’s too simple a solution...
