A stopped clock at College today reminds of a famous quote from Withnail & I, as sampled by Orbital on 'Planet of the Shapes' from their 1993 Brown Album;
"Even a stopped clock,
Gives the right time, twice a day" –

Ha! Uno, or one of its variants, like Uno Flip?
Tonight's haiku is dedicated to Becky - who's photo I've borrowed, and her late brother Hayden, who loved a sunset..
Brushstrokes in the sky,
A palette, vermilion.
