Somehow this just seems pertinent to our discussion of the willy-nilly
timezone algorithm applied to civil (or uncivil) timekeeping. For
instance, Santa is advised to fly from East to West such that
Christmas Eve lasts two days (whatever a "day" means), not one.
Should the Right Jolly Old Elf sort his deliveries by UTC or local
timezones?
