It is that time again.
Time to move your clocks an hour
forward.
Unless like me you are in Hawaii.
Or in Arizona, the only
other state that doesn’t observe Daylight Saving time.
In Hawaii all year round the locals run on Aloha or Hawaiian
time.
Some translate that to mean that they run late, but the way they
see it is:
Hey we're in paradise, who needs a
clock?
It’s all good.
No worry.
Be happy.
Things happen when they happen.
That is what I like about single speed bicycles.
They reflect an attitude. You’re not racing to get somewhere.
You are enjoying the ride.
You get there when you get there.
Anyway, how many of you really needed a reminder? With smart
phones it happens automatically: 2am suddenly
becomes 3am. If no one said anything you might not even notice. With an hour less sleep you might feel tired during the day, or if you ride early in the morning you might be out there
before the sun is. If that's the case be sure to turn your lights on so you can see and be seen. Don’t ride ninja-style (without lights),
it is just too risky.
People debate about Daylight Saving time. It is an
interesting concept. I’ve been in some classes at school where I wish I could
turn the clocks forward an hour to get out of class. Then there are other times
that I wish I could move the clocks back for an extra hour of time.
Albert Einstein in explaining relativity said:
“Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and
it seems like an hour.
Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a
minute."
"No Ka Oi"
