All Hands On Deck

Decades ago, back when I was a young actor trying to make it in Hollywood, I met a girl who, like me, had migrated west from New York. She told me that even though it had been over two months since she had arrived, she was still tired every day. By then, she thought, she should have got over jet lag. I explained to her that if she looked at a globe she would she that Los Angeles was further south than New York, which meant that the distance around the globe longitudinally was greater. Therefore it stood to reason that it took longer for Los Angeles to get all the way around. Hence, longer days. She believed me.
