...turning the clocks back. (At least in my feeble mind. I prefer to leave the clocks set where nature intended - HA!)

Sunday, or Saturday evening, all timers, watches, clocks, etc, Fall back one hour where applicable in most US states. Oh, and one last word about that...........ARRRGGGHHHH!!!

 

Fall Back

I agree the act is archaic. Finally I own a car where I don't have to look in the owner's manual to figure out how to set the clock as this one does it for me. Ain't technology wonderful?

Yes, and don't forget the clocks on the cooking range and the thermostats.

@sizedoesmatter Yes, and the eight antique clocks which I wind every week.

Yes sir, it helps a little. The Caddy does this and I love it. Our two central heat & Air units do it too but the Mercedes is a bear to turn it back and I have 12 zillion clocks, watches, timers and kitchen appliances that are dumb and just sit there with stupid looks on their faces waiting for me to change the time. Scared
