One more ride before the daytime ends – Hasso Hering

Pausing under a chestnut tree at First Avenue and Denver Street in the Willamette neighborhood on November 2, 2024.

It was raining but still light on Saturday afternoon when I took a quick bike ride to take advantage of Daylight Saving Time for the last time in 2024.

That was on Water Avenue in Albany. Look here:

If you saw this and the sound worked at least a little, you know how I feel about having to change the time twice a year.

If our state and federal legislators had a sense of time and clocks, we would abolish this system of a one-hour difference between summer and winter time.

We would stick with one or the other instead.

Maybe one of these years that happy day will come. But don't hold your breath. (hh)

On a gray November day, the Willamette River doesn't care what time it is.
