Fall Back

It's very odd that it is now dark out to me. It isn't even six thirty and it's pitch black out. For all I know, it could be midnight. I actually looked at my phone twice. Six fifteen? No way.

I wonder what time it really is. Like locally. Standardized time didn't come around until the railroads. Before that, every town determined its own time. I wonder how they did it. What I'm going to do tomorrow if it's sunny is go out before noon and figure out using shadow the exact moment the sun is highest in the sky. That will be noon. Seriously, I wonder how far we're off from the real local time. Since we've fallen back, we're now closer to what time it really is. Daylight savings time is not the real time and is truly an hour off.

Hm.
