A Reminder...
Turn the clocks back an hour after midnight or in the morning.

I'm going to like it in the am...now it doesn't get light until 8am.
The nights...I don't mind because it's getting to the cold season.

Just about all my clocks, except the cars, switch automatically.
I really don't like it, get's dark too early. Especially now, since my eye surgeries & cataract, I get a weird reflection from lights in the rear-view mirror so I don't like to drive at night.

I counted it up a couple years ago...I had 14 clocks to reset at each change.
New Civic is auto....Prelude and 911 need changes. Grandpa clock and 4 other pendulum clocks plus lots of timers. Stove, Micro, alarm, water softener......

At least changing the wristwatches are a thing of the past.

Not sure about other states, but I remember back in the 60's in MI most all were for the dst change to be permanent. Now, they want it taken off. What's next?

I'm loving today's clock change. It was full daylight at 8am and by 10 I had started mowing and vacuuming leaves. Finished by noon and Football games next.

Just finished the annual PITA of changing...thanks for the reminder. Toughest for me is hanging the wall clocks back in place, now that I use a walker..

I love the extra hour and earlier light in the morning, so I'm pleased. The stomach growling earlier is the downside.
I think the answer is a workday from 10-4 during these months. Not enough blanket with the 23.5 degree tilt in the earth's axis, unfortunately.
