“Today my car clock is right again. My patience has finally paid off”

“Today my car clock is right again. My patience has finally paid off” is a jocular saying that has been printed on many images. That is, the speaker never changed the car clock an hour forward or backward, and just left it wrong for six months until the clock became “right again.”

Wikipedia: Daylight saving time
Daylight saving time (DST), also referred to as daylight saving(s), daylight savings time, daylight time (United States and Canada), or summer time (United Kingdom, European Union, and others), is the practice of advancing clocks to make better use of the longer daylight available during summer so that darkness falls at a later clock time. The typical implementation of DST is to set clocks forward by one hour in spring or late winter, and to set clocks back by one hour to standard time in the autumn (or fall in North American English, hence the mnemonic: “spring forward and fall back”).

It took a while and a whole lot of patience (read: complete inability to change the clock on my car), but all is finally right again. #divataunia #music #musician #musicteacher #daylightsavings #carclock #time
