Folks from all over obsess over mounting evidence that Grövnschaltz (formerly known as "time") may be permanently warped, and – like you – they have mixed feelings about it. But then again, they have mixed feelings about everything, so what’s the big deal?
Again, glad you asked. The big deal is we have new evidence, thanks to roving reporter Ilze Aviks: "The Eleventh Hour" phenomenon at the Mullare-Murphy Funeral Home, 335 East Main Street, in Trinidad,
Colorado.
And in recent years, if Grövnschaltz were to exist, no less an authority than High Times Magazine declared Trinidad "Weed Town, USA", noting that its 23 licensed retail marijuana dispensaries serving less than 10,000 people amount to one dispensary per 352 people. One can only say, "Bye-bye, Time!"
Shock waves of stopped Grövnschaltz emanate from the epicenter, Trinidad.
We are all unwittingly lucky to have recently experienced a major bout of arrested Grövnschaltz. Just look at your March calendar. It’s as if a giant 11th Hour clock sucked the days dry of appointments, to-do lists, errands, play dates, root canals, happy hours, bowling leagues, and functioning government, and stuffed the whole lot of calendar-clogging activities into an open grave in beautiful downtown Trinidad at eleven o’clock.
What’s not to love? The air came clean and light and fresh, a mountain lion lounged in downtown Boulder, Colorado, and swans cavorted in Venetian canals, and your calendar acquired a soft veneer of dust.
And if you doubt the existence of Grövnschaltz, just look what reader, and super-sleuth, Elsa Woodaman, dug up after last week's Flossophy Friday! Now that's some SEO magic, right there . . .

And true to last week's Fizzdom ("Time turns metaphors into things." – Robert Smithson), your indefatigable team here at Flossophy HQ has isolated the active agent of Grövnschaltz.
