US Clock Changed This Weekend

by Bryan

Daylight Savings Time

Daylight Savings Time ended in the US this morning, November 6^th at 2AM. It became 1AM and you got an extra hour of sleep, unless you work the “graveyard shift” or forgot totally like I did.

Most new devices make the change automatically, although many, like my clock radio, change under the old system and have to be ignored for a couple of weeks.

1 Badtux { 11.06.16 at 8:34 pm }: TMF usually wakes me up at 8:09am to cater to him and get to work on time so I can afford all the kibble that he wants and needs.

Today he woke me up at 7:09am.

Daylight savings time sucks.
2 Bryan { 11.07.16 at 9:45 am }: For whatever reason my cats want dinner at 5PM CST/6PM CDT under the old system when Standard was the time for most of the year. They use the sun, not an atomic clock, to set the time.
3 Badtux { 11.07.16 at 10:32 am }: And TMF woke me up at 7:09AM *AGAIN* today. SIGH! I guess I’ll probably have another week of that before he gets the message that I’m not going to get up at that time to cater to him… when I say “cater to him”, he has food, he has water, he has kitty litter, he just wants me to get up and pay attention to him. Worse than a toddler!
4 Bryan { 11.07.16 at 11:14 am }: This made me think of TMF.

Mark Twain

"There are two novels that can change a bookish 14-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

John Rogers

"The presence of those seeking the truth is infinitely to be preferred to the presence of those who think they've found it."

Sir Terry Pratchett
