...worse than mulching the fallen leaves!!

Where appropriate - Turn Your Clocks Back One Hour. Tonight or Sunday morning.

Fall Back

Thanks. I love the two-tone Navitimer. Who makes the pocket watch?

@jkuvakas 

It's an old 'cheapie' with a name I can't read. I bought it at an antique store to take photos with old western firearms. It keeps perfect time though!

Cool pic Tony. I wish they'd just leave the time alone. One way or the other. It's totally unnecessary. Mankind survived for centuries without messing with the time.🥴🤦

I must admit Tony, your "public service address"  helped me - I was unaware that clocks "fall back"  tonight.  🙄 🙄   

PS

....the only time I regret NOT having Alexa,  "Alexa. please re-set all clocks one hour behind."      😏 🤨

We're Alexa-rich here with Echo Dots everywhere. But she doesn't do that duty. We have Fifi turn all the clocks, timers, watches back. She's our new French House Maid/Aid. She usually gets all the clocks wrong and at all different times, but it's because she's only 20 with a short attention span. So it's OK.

@perrone1 Tony, I most respectfully disagree with you on this one. Here are some views around my home after already clearing untold piles of leaves. I have about a half acre in the back thats not cleared, but a lot of those leaves make it to the yard. I do have three time tellers that I have to reset that don’t involve a push button.

Good for you Tony! I would love to have one of those to help with the chores and other stuff but the wife would not permit it.

@david-vandermeer It doe’s look kind of pretty, but if you hike on my property you must take a rake with you to steady yourself!

That would be grounds for dismissal in my household.   A pet-peeve of mine - EVERY clock in the house is set to precisely the same time, including All appliances.    They are in sync!  🤨

Oh Absolutely Chris. You're definitely a man after my same heart - I want them all to be in sync as well. But you may have missed that I said Fifi is my 20 year old French Maid. Here; let me show you her photo. I took this, this morning as she was dusting:

 

Fifi Le Femme

Clocks? What clocks??  (HA!)

For you John; she'd be very happy to do so. (She'll also make you one heckuva French Daiquiri!)

I retired in 2000 and threw away my watch and still don't have one and I have not set or heard an alarm clock since. Changing the time twice a year has never bothered me at all.
