This year changing clocks was easier than ever, mainly because there was no one else around. At 10 p.m. I stopped the two pendulum clocks and set an alarm an hour later to restart them (It’s bad for the clock to turn the hands back manually.) I was surprised at the ones I had to change besides the ones on the stove and an electric alarm clock. There were two indoor/outdoor thermometers and a lamp. I never look at the thermometers for time, but they keep track of temp history. I don’t look at that, either. The lamp has a lighted strip that shows the date, time, and indoor temperature. Thank heavens all the electronic things change themselves. It is now just after noon here, and I’m wondering which clocks were set with 24-hour time. I’ll know shortly.

There was one glitch with the clock that was on John’s computer desk. I couldn’t get the hour number to change. The solution? I turned its face to the wall. From time to time I’ll try again, and eventually it will say the right time and will face the room again.

If any government agency spies on blog posts, I’ll declare here that I don’t want the clocks to change ever again. It’s my understanding that the majority of Americans have the same view. Pay attention and do something about it!!
