...nonsensical as it is, to me at least, is once again upon us.

Tomorrow morning, set clocks and watches ahead one hour. I couldn't care which setting they choose, just please leave it alone. Watches, clocks (we have a plethora of them.) timers, appliances and one car - the other does it on its own.

Tony, I can see that time changing has given you the blues. Like you I don't care which way it goes, just let it stay that way.

Beautiful pics Tony. I wish they'd leave it alone as well. Preferably at daylight savings time. I enjoy the extra daylight in the evening. I never liked it getting dark like at 5-5:30. Maybe that's just me though.😁

I know; right? And who was that young dummy who put three clocks so high that NOW this old man has to struggle to change them? Oops; guilty!

EDIT: This Corvette clock is one of the offenders!

Chevy & Olds East wall (1)

A gentleman on my Meals on Wheels route made clocks out of cast iron frying pans, half dollars, numbers, [live] ammo.

Honestly, I've never understood the reason to change the time.  Let it be light when it's supposed to be light and let it be dark when it's supposed to be dark.  We shouldn't change what God created.

@brush 

I love those two 1:18 scale Oldsmobile's.  Have both, love both.  The '62 is special because I owned one Identical to that model.  To this day, it's my personal all-time favorite car I've owned.  And of course many here know that my favorite fifties Olds is the '57.

Having the blues is bad enough Bob, but apparently our poor buddy Tony has the metallic blues!

@sizedoesmatter I have a fair number of clocks too but fortunately most are synced.  If I change one, I change them all - EZ-peazy.     But the two "most important"  clocks are NOT synced; I must manually ensure their times match!

That would be the stove and the microwave directly above it....  if those two clocks are off, even by a fraction of a second, I turn into a maniac!  🙄 😳 😲 😠 😡
