Daylight Saving Case
()
About this ebook
Daylight savings time hits Seattle and several blocks go dark around a bank in down town. In less than two hours all the lights come on. The bank officials were locked out of their building. With the lights back on, they find the vaults open and $50 million in cash has walked off. The total weight is about half a ton.
The bank officials, police, and firemen were around the building when the lights were out. No one could get in or out of the building. Patrolman Rage in her car with a rookie circled the building several various times during the blackout. She has some ideas which she shares with robbery. Then her friend patrolman Jones go sightseeing on the famous Seattle underground tours.
Why is there an underground tour? After the Seattle fire of 1889, the city fathers raised some of the streets in Seattle from 12 to 30 feet to prevent flooding. It also let the toilets flush at high tide. They built walls to hold the dirt and paved over them. The city only owned the streets and could not dump dirt on the land. With some stores already rebuilt, their customers where climbing ladders down from the streets to the main entrances to the stores.

Prologue Why Daylight Saving Time?
During World War 2, the clocks were set two hours ahead and never changed. Working 12 hours shifts still allowed for a little sun light when the people got off shift. It was a necessary evil. Also, the factories could be run with two shifts instead of three. This freed up people for other work.
After the war years many people were now use to the time change. Congress never gave people a chance to get back to normal. Their compromise was likely worse than the original. They turned the time ahead one hour for six months in the spring and summer. In the winter months they set the clocks back where they should be. To make matters worse, some States choose not to have their clocks ever moved. The cows and farm animals never got into this time change. They use standard time and don’t care what Congress does.
Day light saving time now is just another stupid law passed by Congress instead of doing useful work. The farmers hate it, school kids must get up and go to school in the dark and their bodies must change twice a year. It serves no useful purpose and cost money to boot. The extra effort to change all the clocks and paper schedules is never considered. What of foreign visitors and trade? The list goes on and on.
Despite the outcries of truth, the politicians are as usual, deaf to the facts. They claim it ‘saves energy’. This claim has been disproven time over time. But when does the truth move Congress in any direction?
The energy claim is just that. No citizen sees a decrease in the electric bills before during or after daylight saving time. The truth of the matter is their bills go up a little for the entire year. When they get up it is dark, so they need the power. When they come home they have more light to go places and do things. Then they are up later and use more power. On small segment of the population likes and takes advantage of the extra hour to work. These people are called work-alcoholics.
Of course, Seattle does not have much sun shine to complain about gaining or losing it. You are just given an extra hour of rain in the fall when the clocks go back to the ‘real time’.
Chapter 1 Change the Clocks Again
In a large downtown bank in Seattle, it is not a small job to get all the clocks turned back which the bank’s Control Center monitors. The older vault clocks were never built for Daylight time. Either the vaults open to late or they lock too soon for several days after the clock change.
