Once More... a farce in many parts. A comedy in others.

This whole stupid daylight savings

Posted on October 28th, 2000

This whole stupid daylight savings time thing reminds me of one of the reasons I like Spanish so much. They have this wonderful term: la madrugada. It’s a distinct period of the day, different from morning, afternoon, or evening. Closest English translation would be early, early in the morning, before the sun is up. None of this:

When do we change the clocks?
Sunday morning.
You mean Saturday night?
[sighs] Yes.
