Somethings off, Steves reply is posted at 11:35 but my computer clock shows 11:08 as does my cell phone.

My response is: Kind of, yes.

So the cell phone, cable TV box, computer, one of the clock radios and one of the atomic clocks are all set to the correct time automagically. Then there's the solar/atomic watch that's supposed to be correct, but isn't because Maine is too dang far away to get a radio signal unless I stand on the roof and point my wrist in the general direction of Colorado. That's probably the same problem as the other atomic clock that also is a weather station but also hasn't received a radio signal. Of course since we moved to the beach house for the winter I haven't the foggiest where the instruction manuals for those two are, nor am I going to bother digging them up since I'll just have to pack them again for our move to Louisville.

The grandfather clock was a cinch - we stopped the pendulum for an hour and luckily remembered to start it up again after an hour, and of course the old skool watches that you can move an hour at a time were easy.

The sundial is also packed somewhere in a box, so I don't have to worry about that.

As I'm somewhat a collector of horological technology (clocks and watches), that's just the tip of the iceberg, but be assured I am kept very busy at least two Sundays of the year.

And it used to be that the change to daylight savings time was around a week before my birthday and a week after my sweetie's, but George Bush had to go and screw that up too.

You will miss it. Kinda like when I had a toothache and I missed it after my trip to the dentist.
