Standard Sanford
And his dirty little dingle…
It gets so dark so early these days.
It seems to be sucking the life outta me putting the chickens away so early.
If anyone’s to blame it’s Sir Sandford Fleming.
Fleming was a peninsular pounce who standardized time.
Standard time was invented by Haligonian Sir Sanford Fleming.
When we ‘fall back’ from Daylight Savings time we’re on Standard time as developed by Fleming.
So Fleming made this ‘standard time’ bullshit that’s making it dark so early.
Six days had passed - almost a full week without a tour!
We had our closing party (still no call from Hr so I guess I wasn’t embarrassing)
But that felt like ‘the end’
In the end, things don’t always work out as we’d like.
Take Fleming for example.
He built a big old tower that juts up above the north west arm of the harbour.
It’s a granite and ironstone tower.
Constructed as a distinguished memorial.
And its distinguished name?
The Dingle.
The Dingle?
It would be difficult to think of a more distinguished name for a tower than ‘The Dingle’.
Gene Autry coul…
