- Edward Sharp and the Magnetic Zeros, Home
I caught up on some sleep on the way back. We ate at a Wendy's in Edmundston, which was the first time on the trip that I had allowed myself to eat anything that was available back home, with the exception of an A&W burger at a rest stop somewhere in Ontario on Wednesday. I really didn't want the trip to end. I had just spent a full week without going to work or school, not trying to be frugal, and sleeping every night in Wrecking Ball's arms. I didn't want to go back to the real world at all.
Sunday, March 13, was Daylight Savings Time. Unfortunately, neither Wrecking Ball nor I were aware of this. After a time, we started wondering where exactly the time zone changes. When we found ourselves back in New Brunswick, we knew we must have crossed it. However, my phone read 5pm, his read 4pm, and the car mysteriously read 4pm as well, which was the time we suspected for the previous zone. Neither of us had touched the car's clock so we didn't understand why it would have changed. Eventually, while texting Hey Rosetta! about what time we thought we'd make it to town, I learned that my cellphone had the correct time. The mystery, though, was still unsolved until we reached Wrecking Ball's bed and saw his clock was also an hour behind our phones. The pieces just sort of fell together - I think he understood first - and then we had to laugh, because the time had been confusing us all day.
