Daddy's Home by Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein for March 11, 2012

When did you change your clocks?

I did it as soon as I got home from work on Friday. It’s the only way to ease into losing an hour.

And changing all the clocks.

I don’t I bought Atomic clocks that set themselves with the national clock in Colorado. But I still have to set the one in the car.

Happily, an increasing number of my clocks change themselves – the computer, DVR, cell phone, atomic clock, and even my car clock. I’ll get down to the task of changing my watches and a couple of clock radios sometime later today, once I get over losing an hour of sleep.

My husband keeps one wristwatch on daylight time and one on standard. Changes watches instead of the time. I take care of the digital ones (toaster oven, coffee pot, microwave, etc.) and the rest reset themselves.

Right before I went to bed last night.

I really wish they would leave the time alone. Just leave it alone!!!

@Tony, I never change the clocks. I’m on Phoenix time! ;-D

I live in Saskatchewan where we don’t [at least so far] change the time. One reason I like Saskatchewan.

Changed mine around 11 pm last night.

And yes, why can’t we be on DST all year? Sure would take some of the “bite” out of the dark winter months!

We change the ones that don’t do it automatically before we go to bed on Saturday. Doesn’t do to be late for church when you’re the preacher.

Here in AZ we don’t observe sanity-we just wander around for 9 months wondering why our favorite TV programs start at 6pm. They decided not to participate because the extra hour of sunlight would make us run the A/C too much. So instead they built 1.5 million new homes for population growth. They did tell newcomers to bring their own electricity. That worked out . . .

Yesterday before sundown. Although I wish we could move them forward on the last Sunday in May, and change them back on the first Sunday in September.

I was up at ‘2:00’ am so i watched it change on my computer from 1:59am to 3:00 am

Last night (alarm), this morning (others), and not at all (auto-changers).

Can’t be on DST always unfortunately. On the shorter days kids would be walking to school (or the bus stop) in the dark.

serena, I wouldn’t mind it IF we were on permanent DST.
