Electric Dreams

I like to keep a clock beside my bed with a lighted dial. Batteries aren't strong enough to light up the clock, so it has to plug in. Only clocks that plug in rely on the electric company to keep time.

Before the Dubai power outage and refurbishment of the electric grid, my clock gained about 5 min every day. After the refurbishment, it kept perfect time.

Then I started working in a Northern Emirate.

And once again, my clock gains at least 5 minutes a day.

If only the rest of the Northern Emirate would gain time as fast.
