Our household still has analog clocks that don't adjust automatically. I am fond of their look, which offsets the inconvenience. And I can feel the time of day reading a clock face; a digital readout doesn't resonate as deeply.
Hawaii never adopted Daylight Saving Time and doesn't have to go through the semi-annual springing forward and falling back. Hawaiian time is constant, yet unhurried. I am going to the Islands later this week and can already feel the temporal tension dissipating.
Note: Hawaiian Time is often used as an excuse for being tardy, but holding Arbor Day in November, seven months after the rest of the country, is extreme.
