December, 2005.

Ahh, yeeess, my favorite twilight zone episode - go back in time to stop the school fire, but end up being the cause (dylight savings time issues, heh)… Unless you know me better than I think – I have been, on multiple occasions, the accidental cause of numerous barely non-lethal explosions. 🆒
