| Sat ours back just before bed last night. Oven, a couple Battery Clocks and replaced those batteries, may get to Smoke Detectors tonight as we have a Memorial Toy Ride, likely In the Rain, set for today. |

| Seems like there was less chatter from the usual sources about the time change. I get up before sunrise most days. Phone is the only thing showing correct time at the moment. |

I also noticed that nobody reported or coaxed us to not forget to "Fall Back",,,, My faithful IPhone did have the Fall Back time on it's face Tho,,,, The wall clock I have relied on to let me know WHEN it was again time to Fall Back or Spring Forward is an Atomic Clock that my #2 Son gave us prolly 25 years ago is STILL showing Spring Forward time,,so it may be getting close to it's end time,,,,, It is a PITA to reset after battery changing time so I'm thinking it will just have to re-learn to change itself,,,,,

The spring forward/fall back, daylight saving time/standard time concept is a pain in the ass, there I said it! Serves no purpose worth value. Did hear on the radio top of the hour newsbreak, Saturday afternoon, a major medical association has issued an opinion the twice yearly clock change does more harm than good. ------------- I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science. |

Set the clocks before bed. Hat a power flicker and all lost time. Didn’t know if my phone changed or not. Finally went out to check in my truck. The cell phone had changed. I then re set all the clocks. |

The dates to “spring forward “/“fall back” were changed several years back. Your wall clock still has the old dates programmed into it. ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |

Jay you have gone thru this 60 or 70 years maybe!!! So it should be a total surprise! Lol. Was on the news all week. All talk about how hard this will be on people. So I guess these morons have never gone to bed an hour later or gotten up and hour earlier. Took me 30 seconds to get used to it - the amount of time it took to change the one clock that does not change itself.

Travelling South through Indiana to Tennessee, so had "two" 1 hr Fall Backs. Crossing Time zone change and the 'Fall Back' change. Today Lunch was at 10:00 am, but it felt right. G |
