Did everyone remember to run their clocks forward Saturday
night/wee hours of Sunday morning?

It was busy day here yesterday and a smidge stressful and
I completely forgot to change my clocks, but did when I
hopped out of bed. One or two things changed automatically
but the other timekeepers had to be set manually.

No. For the few things that don't adjust themselves, I did it
this morning after I got up. Why should I do it Saturday night?

It's just something I've always done before heading to the
sack. But last night the time change thing completely slipped
my mind.

My computer clock just changed automatically. I thought it wasn't
supposed to do that until 2:00 in the morning.

Mine had changed itself when I looked at when I got up as
had my cell phone.

These time changes tax the RFC biddies and fuddies to the max and get
them all giddy!

no, but when i woke up and booted the computer it
adjusts itself and now we have the cellphone which also
changes the time after a few moments after i pick it up.

the other clocks i have to adjust manually. i have
one left to do (in the garage) which is easy enough to
do - just haven't gotten it done yet. it takes me more
time to try to get the clock back on the nail it hangs
from than it does to change the time (spin a dial a
little bit).

I have set a few records for the most time taken.

I already told all about my 'Casio' with the broken
button that takes about two hours each spring & fall
because I need to advance or retard it by 29 seconds
every minute or so.

I also have a 'Sony' ~3" cube that I bought because
it can automatically shange from standard to daylight.

I guess I should have read the manual when I bought it
a dozen years ago, because it has never done so.
Today I found by trial & error that the DST button
I was using to change from 'On' to 'Off' also has
an 'Auto' setting if you press it long enough, so
next autumn it should switch back automatically.

That clock also has a battery backup so it continues
to keep time (with display off) during power fails,
so that should be the last time I have to touch the
buttons on the back. (Unless, of course, to correct it
after touching the buttons on the back accidentally.)
