Overheard
Hey Kris and Amy… from what I overhead today some girl saying, you have already started the new year…
“It’s January in Australia because it’s snowing there. That means they’re six months ahead.”
Wow. Somehow, according to this girl, Australia and its inhabitants have leaped through time six months.
My first thought when I realized she was serious… “What the hell is she doing in the Engineering building?” Of course then I remembered that they have freshman classes in the large lecture halls because they can throw more people in them.
/sigh. I fear for our future. I really do.

Unfortunately, that is only slightly more deluded than members of my family are when it comes to time zone conversion. At least they’ve stopped calling me in the middle of the night…

LOL. When I was younger, I had clocks set to the time zones where various family members were, just so I avoided that.
