Clocks back

Last Sunday, while I was still in Ireland, clocks switched from Daylight Saving Time back to GMT, meaning I had a 25 hour day to enjoy. In North America, the change didn’t happen until today which gives me the Brucie Bonus of another 25 hour day! This is an effect of the US policy change in 2007 to switch to DST three weeks earlier in the spring and then switch back a week later in the fall (which was also adopted by Canada and others).

With my extra hour today I headed to the Metrotown mall in Burnaby which is only 15 minutes away on the Skytrain. Metrotown is big. Really really big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mind bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it is a long way down the road to the chemist, but that’s just peanuts to Metrotown. Anyway I bought a new hat. I like hats. I get the feeling that at some point in the future I’m going to be the proud owner of a large collection of hats. I don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
