Daylight Savings Time ends

Last night I spent about 5 minutes going around and setting all of the clocks back one hour.  Except for the ones that self-adjust.  All in all I set back 7 watches, a small clock in the Bonus Room, one in my sewing room, our thermostat, the clock in my car, the one on the stove in the garage, one micorwave,  one on our kitchen stove, the small kitchen timer, the small portable heater in my bathroom, the water-resistant clock/radio in my shower, and the clock in the bathroom.  It seems like only yesterday when I set them ahead.  They say it's a good time to change batteries in smoke detectors when the time changes.  I'll have to make sure that we check ours.
I hope that you all won't be early to anything today.  It seems that someone always forgets about changing clocks and either shows up early or late to church depending on whether it is Fall or Spring.

It sounds like you have too many clocks! :) Thanks again for the reminder. I always forget.

I used to work at a company that would send a guy around to change all the clocks in the office. But he would pick one time (the time where he did the first clock) and then set all the clocks to that exact time, no matter how long it took him to get to it.

So needless to say, a bunch of the clocks would be off anywhere from 5-15 minutes. You could always tell the order he moved around in just by looking at the times. Glad you got yours done!

I can tell we are related. I spent Saturday night going around our house and setting clocks back also. I normally go out and do the 3 vehicles, but I decided to wait until we get in them to go someplace.

Yep, Randy, It's a tough job--but somebody has to do it.
