To coincide with Maurice Ravel’s birthday, a reminder to turn your clocks ahead tonight.

Spring forward, and lose an hour. Then brace yourself, as tomorrow, all across the country, bleary-eyed folks destroy things or injure themselves because of disrupted sleep cycles. The risk of stroke spikes the day after a time change, and productivity plummets on Monday due to worker fatigue.

But it’s all worth it, I suppose, so that we can have a little extra light at the end of the day, should someone decide they need a walk in the evening.
