Sir Sandford Fleming: Standardizing Time for the World! ๐
In 1884, Canadian Sir Sandford Fleming revolutionized timekeeping! He created worldwide standard time zones, dividing the world into 24 zones based on longitude. This ended the confusion of local times and made global communication and travel much easier. Thank you, Canada, for this brilliant innovation! ๐จ๐ฆ

Permanent Standard Time promotes a healthier body rhythm, keeping energy, metabolism, and the immune system more synchronized, which reduces the risk of chronic conditions.
The change of seasons and switch back to standard time shift the patterns of light and dark this time of year, and puts me in mind of this bit of #electronic sampledelia.

A hearty welcome back to Standard Time for all of my fellow time travelers out there!
From my point of view, I'm a compassionate pet companion who fed her pets 45 minutes early today.
From their perspective, I'm a cruel and selfish human who delayed their dinner by 15 whole minutes.
(I move dinner a few minutes a day until it lines up with where I want it again, but they fail to appreciate the kindness in not making them wait the entire hour.)
Itโs saying a lot when itโs considered easier to move the entire clock than get more flexible working hours from corporations.
