Oh no!
Time for a major freak out. Yeah, thats right. All of Brazil sprang forward an hour for spring. All of Brazil, that is, EXCEPT Bahia. Apparently they used to join the country in the time leap but then decided that it gets bright earlier here already so they didn't want to switch. So now they don't. But here is the problem. My mae has certain TV shows that she just has to watch that are broadcast for all of Brazil. American ones are most interesting to her (My Wife and Kids and The New Adventures of Old Christine are HUGE here - neither of which I had heard of while I was actually in the U.S) but she enjoys her Brazilian magic show as well. Problem is, all the shows that used to be on at nine here (and everywhere else) are now on at nine everywhere else and eight here. Doesn't seem so tragic to the average person but the average person does not rush home from midweek church services to watch American TV. But my mae does. Unfortunately now no matter how much rushing she does she will never make it in time now. I am interested to see whether TV or God wins out in this epic battle, though knowing my mae I would be willing to wager my living stipend on God.

Let us know the outcome of this one. Love the Isle pics. If you don't come back we'll at least have a clue as to where we should look.
