Unless you are perhaps dallice.blogspot.com's most avid reader, with the memory of a savant, you won't remember this but back in 2013, Mark and I flew out to Page, AZ and went hiking at Buckskin Gulch. There was all kinds of trouble telling time - even with cell phones that were supposed to automatically know. You'd think that could only happen to us once but apparently not. Here in Nebraska things got squirrely with time again!
Our Airbnb featured not one, not two but FIVE clocks on the wall of this 600 square foot bungalow! Each one told a different time.
I know what you are thinking. 'Even the blind squirrel gets a nut eventually' and a broken clock tells the correct time twice a day, right?! Nope. About half of the clocks were still ticking - IE they were never, ever going to tell the right time. O.M.G.
But not to worry... we have our cell phones and Mark also has his mini-Ipad. Definitely got a good chance of knowing what time it is now, right? Nope again. My phone said 1:30pm when Marks phone and Ipad said 2:30pm. WTF??!!!
I actually do get to blame Steve Jobs for this! Turns out Lincoln NE is in one time zone while Ogallala NE is in another. Devices need to know where they are in order to know what time it is. Isn't it Steve Jobs fault that Marks devices don't know whether they are coming or going?
This Android user is putting judgement (mostly) aside and simply congratulating us for getting to the bottom of our time-confusion a lot quicker this trip than we did in Arizona. Yay us!
