Wee Willie Winky in the evening setting the non-automatic clocks ahead. It is so cute. I think he actually enjoys it!

Very methodical, very exacting, very slow. And I enjoy it to the max. Drives my wife nuts. Part of my charm. As usual she calls her sister and they are off to town. She showed me. She bought a new pair of Skechers.

We live in Arizona, so we just change time zones. In winter we're on Mountain time and in summer we're on Pacific time. No clock changing or schedule disruption!

probably half or more of the clocks update themselves (phones, computers, etc) so we fix the outliers the morning after.

The car will get reset when we get around to it, and figure how. Again. Why the car reset is beyond me. It’s got GPS.

Record higher numbers of cardiac arrests after the loss of the nighttime hour, I decided we’d lose the hour during the day instead. Tomorrow afternoon at 2, we will change the clocks that need changing. Why not?!

But when I did have clocks, I set them before I went to sleep.
