Jan 10
We were waiting until noon yesterday for the General Assembly to begin its session. As the House of Delegates filled up, the clock reached 11:59 a.m. It was almost time…
Then something funny happened. The clock on the big board in the House struck 11:60. I have never seen anything like it in my life. One minute later, the clock turned to 12:01, putting to rest the question of whether we were in ante meridian or post meridian.
Quoth one member of the press corps: βItβs 11:60 in the afternoon. Do you know where your legislators are?β
