Day 3 - Time Change

Here in Los Angeles, we change the clock 2 times a year to more align our 'human' lives with the life of the universe. I.e. as the earth goes around the sun on its tilted axis the sun appears to rise higher (or lower) in the sky and sets (rises) later (or earlier) day to day. It is easy to figure out which way to set the clock to an old saying..."Spring forward and Fall back".

So needless to say, this past Saturday night at 2AM miraculously changed to 1AM to correspond to the 'Fall back' part of the saying. I believe that March 11th will be the 'Spring forward' next year when 2AM will miraculously change to 3AM.

The time change used to be on a 6 month interval; but GB#42 changed that a few years back and now it is on a 5 month interval. Something to do with Economic growth and good for the country...whatever!

Okay so to get to the post topic...I get out of work ~5:30PM and last week the sun was just above the Western mountains between Glendale and Burbank; and now it is set behind the mountains and the sky is almost dark! Come December 21st or 22nd the sun will be set and it will be dark by 4:45PM. I do not like this time of year, it is too dark for me - but I do like the sky in November in the middle of the day. The sky is just sooo blue and the clouds are thin and wispy.

These are also the last days of 80F weather, come the end of the month we'll be stuck in the high 60F-70F range and heading for winter. Can't complain much about Southern California winters but I'll be counting the days 'till Spring.
