I got up early this morning, probably woken up by the call to prayer coming in over the loudspeaker (it's not called loud for nothing). I checked the time on my itouch and groaned. Way too early.
(Don't let the minutes fool you. I took this one first.)
I got my laptop to check email and do a little surfing. Suddenly I thought I had entered a time warp.
It seemed like an hour had vanished. (I took this picture seconds before I took the itouch screen shot.)
Well, I did what anyone would do. I googled the time.
Whew. Trusty Google comes through again. Or did it???
I decided to check the top six search results just to be sure.
(Time to sing the chorus to the Chicago song "Does anybody really know what time it is?)

Yes, it's a tie. And then our clock chimed.
Someone must have gotten mixed up. Because tomorrow at 2 AM Daylight savings time ends here. (Ramadan is coming and for a month the clocks will be in regular time before turning back to Daylight savings time. Anyone confused yet?)
So now you may think that settles it. Except I haven't forgotten what happened here two years ago when the government postponed the fall time change 15 hours before it was scheduled to take place.
Let's just say I'm glad I don't have a plane to catch this morning.
And one thing I do know: it's time for some coffee.
Bwahaha! How well I remember. Once I was gone for 10 days and the time changed twice and the kids were late to school so often the principal wrote a nasty note home.
