all the other clocks we use adjusted themselves. I feel bad for my parents, they have analog clocks everywhere!

2. Spoiled. I remember when I had to disassemble and REBUILD the clocks when the time changed!
Not really, but it seemed that way. Now they're digital and most of them either let you enter in the new time or at LEAST allow you to go backwards at a glacial speed. Curiously, the only ones that adjusted themselves were the computers. Microwave, stove, alarm clocks, coffee maker - all manual changes.

3. We use the cable box, the computers, and our phones for checking the time
So it worked out great.

4. Actually, my pocket watch is the easiest to reset. Pull out, quick twist, push in.
Beats the hell out of changing ANYTHING digital (well, other than the ones that do it themselves).

I forgot to mention in the last post - the cell phones ALSO changed time on their own.

5. I almost saw my computer clock change. Missed it by a minute.
I looked and it was going on 2 a.m. and next I looked it was 1:01 a.m.

Since dawn was an hour earlier this morning I heard the shots from the duck hunters earlier as well.

6. I have a clock radio that is just sitting there waiting for a phone call.
It adjusts the time when we receive a call. Of course, no one has called all day.....

And I have so many watches! I will set them when I wear them though. Setting them all would be a waste of energy. LOL
