An answer but to a question that was not asked...



His question was in response to this:



which would put it in the context of Indiana as I understood it. However, we could extrapolate it to other planets in the solar system if you want to broaden it even more to make your point.

That’s not true. Look back at the entire exchange. Arizona is not Indiana.

Idunno man. The context isn’t that well defined. It certainly is not clear that it’s confined to Indiana.

You mean other than the two references to Indiana in jmarriot's post?

Okay, well then you guys talk amongst yourselves. I mean, I suppose it was possible that he was talking about sunset on Jupiter or Neptune, but it seems like someone is pulling something out of Uranus.

Edit: Sorry there were 3 references to Indiana in jmarriot's post. Yeah, totally ambiguous.

Reminds me of a funny story my FiL tells. He is a Vietnam era vet stationed in Greenland. Some uptight brass shows up in the dead of winter and in his haste to keep moving, he starts berating my FiL and his team for not working fast enough to get his plane moving. Apparently they were already on the tail end of a looooooong shift and the brass was being highly inconsiderate/unreasonable.

My FiL finally has enough and retorts "What are you going to do to us? Send us to Greenland?" For some reason that hit the officer squarely beteween the eyes and he had a few choice words and then moved on.

Sure enough. We got our missing hour back.

I still woke up about the same time. The clock just told me it was too early so I tried laying there until it was the "right" time. I think I got ripped off.

Is it safe to open the blast doors?

Sam Ting. Sucks taking a shower when the clock tells you it's an hour too early but you know better!

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Is it safe to open the blast doors?

Yes! And very soon it will be light enough to see what's outside instead of waiting until almost lunch time.

I always wonder if people are being funny, just whining, or being serious when complaining about changing all the clocks or how difficult some of them are. I changed every clock in my house in less than 10 minutes...including the oven which is apparently hard? Idk, just curious if it's a joke or not.
