The Shortest Day

Today is the shortest day of the year. Scientists will tell you the shortest day is the first day of winter, the day with the least amount of daylight. But no, today is the shortest day of the year. While you were asleep, the government snatched an hour away from us, and we can’t do a thing about it. So we have to pack a typical day into 23 hours. Actually, there’s likely a lesson out there somewhere and it goes something like this: “We should live each day like it’s a 23 hour day and thus have an extra hour to do something to serve our fellow man.” How would you use that extra hour?

Unfortunately, tomorrow I will likely use that extra hour trying to change the clock on my car. 60% of the people I surveyed today had clocks in their cars that did not adjust automatically for the time change. C’mon! These cars supposedly drive themselves and they can’t even adjust their own clocks? Actually, maybe that will be a great advertising theme for the self-driving car: “The car drives itself so you can adjust the clock!”  Bring it on!
