Most folks here in the US have to set their clocks back one hour today. I almost forgot it. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

I have 2 watches, a Tissot Touch with barometer and altimeter on winter time and a aluminium Swatch for the summer. So I don't have to reset them. Once I went swimming with the Touch and sea water entered it. It was repaired in Switzerland at no cost, although the warranty had expired. Since then I only used it while skiing. Tullio |

What is this resetting of clocks that you speak of? It's something that Arizona can't comprehend. ;) The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

my clock is radio controlled from the national time signal. I have 3 that are also... An old Heathkit GC1000 and a wall clock that use the radio time signals. And a Nixiechron nixie tube clock that uses GPS signals. A bunch of others that are on manual control. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

I thought that would happen on February 30th... ...me too. Some bright spark thought about moving it to February 31st until someone realised that the Romans actually abolished this date so it doesn't come round any more.

what I dont get is that we now have daylight savings for more than 6 months of the year. That seems to defeat the purpose. If that one hour is such a bother then adjust your working hours. Myself, I'd just as soon lose DST altogether In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face. Diogenes Of Sinope |

I have thought the best way to get more daylight into a summer `day` is get out of be sooner . . . Hedgehogs know how to deal with winter :¬) |
