I woke up in twilight. Thought it was Saturday morning. Checked my phone. Yep. 7:30. Hang on a moment... PM???? Friday night.
I've had international online friends over the years. Hong Kong, Japan, England... all good. Eastern Hemisphere, just add some hours here and there. Simples.
Now I have a friend in Canada. You would think this would be easy. Night time for us both sometimes. THe sun is shining on Europe and Africa, and Australia, the Pacific, and the Americas are in darkness. It's the same night as far as mother nature is concerned. But humankind had to come along and complicate things. The International ******* Date Line. Right down the guts of the Pacific. It hurts my brain, and I'm sick of the arithmetic.
