The 350 residents of Sommarøy in the land of the midnight sun are hoping to free themselves from the tyranny of the clock by declaring the small Norwegian island the world’s first time-free zone. “All over the world, people are characterised by stress and depression,” Kjell Ove Hveding, the leader of the campaign on the island, west of Tromsø and inside the Arctic circle, told the Norwegian public broadcaster NRK. “In many cases this can be linked to the feeling of being trapped by the clock. We will be a time-free zone where everyone can live their lives to the fullest … Our goal is to provide full flexibility, 24/7. If you want to cut the lawn at 4am, then you can do it.”

Does this mean getting drunk at sunrise will be publicly acceptable?

I dropped the OT famous line of ‘suns up, blades down’ at work the other day and my boss thought I was serious. He now says it to me like three times a day because he finds it hilarious.

Those are more annoying than motorized blades. That beautiful humming sound from my Toro is much more soothing than the un-melodic noise of those blades turning.
