Two hours from now, at 1:00 AM PDT on November 2, three days = 72 hours will remain on the countdown clock – including one fake extra hour of "Falling back" at 2:00 AM on November 3 when Daylight Savings time gets canceled for winter – until 12:00 AM PDT on November 5, the [west coast] start of U.S. Liberation Day!
Relax. [Be] + [Er] = [Ge] + [Zr] = 72.
.
Fake extra hour alert!
With the present Pacific Daylight Time [PDT], three hours from now, at 2:00 AM PDT on Sunday, November 3, 47 hours would remain on the countdown clock.
But when the clock strikes 2:00 AM PDT, the U.S. Congress magically forces our clocks back one hour, resetting them to 1:00 AM Pacific [no Daylight Savings] Time [PT]. We essentially get an "instant replay" of the just-completed hour, to make sure it passed correctly. This is a fake hour.
The Unofficial MAGA-nation Pacific Countdown Clock will thus again "strike" 1:00 AM PT, and there will again be 47 hours remaining until 12:00 AM PT on Tuesday, November 5, the [west coast] start of U.S. Liberation Day!
Here at the Lab we much prefer Pacific Daylight Time [PDT], since we dislike the artificial early nightfall, and since PDT also reminds us of President Donald Trump.
At least we can enjoy the 47-hour time stamp twice.
As noted previously [at 12:00 PDT on October 28] the element with atomic number 47 is silver [Ag].

Dust in the Wind
I close my eyes
Only for a moment, and the moment's gone
All my dreams
Pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind
All they are is dust in the wind
Same old song
Just a drop of water in the endless sea
All we do
Crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
Now don't just hang on [my edit]
Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away
And all your money won't another minute buy
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
(All we are is dust in the wind)
Dust in the wind
(Everything is dust in the wind)
Everything is dust in the wind
(In the wind)
