US set to switch back to daylight savings time, UTC confusion
 

I figure this is always a good time to confuse people about shortwave.
The US goes back to daylight savings time this sunday at 2am. Europe I
think does it the first week in April. Who knows about the rest of the
world.

This will be interesting to see how the broadcasters adjust to this.
Do they maintain UTC time? Do they follow the US time switch? Do they
follow the European time switch? Or do they do what they do now, which
is total unpredictability and chaos??

Always something with shortwave....

Unpredictability and chaos!! Instead of what once was the "week of confusion" we
now have the "weeks of confusion" where schedules are all jumbled up due to time
changes, and everyone drifts about as if in a dream.

I predict 4 years of increasing confusion as the abomination finds out
his liberal socialist ideas don't work.

I'm sure you have noticed that the Russians didn't take him up on his
defense roll over offer. Why should the russians go for a deal 90% in
their favor when they can get 100% out of that pussy we have for
president.

And Clintoon has done a bang up job with the Chinese begging them to
keep on buying USA debt not to mention the brewing fiasco in the middle
east.

In my considered opinion, which I sometimes consider,,, Time as we know
it is a yardstick, a unit of measure.I don't believe there really is any
such thingy as Time.

This afternoon,I went food shopping at the Gestapo Wal Mart store.I
don't wear a wris****ch, but I took my old Timex wris****ch to the
Gestapo store for a new battery.That Gestapo woman in that Gestapo store
said, I can't take the back off of your wris****ch because it didn't
come from Wal Mart!

I didn't have anything with me to pry the back off of my old Timex
electric wris****ch.

Who was that old guy in that old Sean Connery 007 movie? When Sean
Connery was in that coffin in Las Vegas and the old guy was cussin 007
out about those phoney diamonds.
