    appliance helpfully has a clock in it, too, from the microwave to the toaster oven to the coffee machine, not to mention the phone/answering machine, etc, plus the programmable thermostat, the car.  There's ALWAYS one you forget to fix, and then checking for time weeks or months later and end up missing an appointment or whatever.  At least the satellite or cable TV and the computer take care of changing their own clocks.

    no clocks here. My cell is used as my alarm clock. My computer, cell and cable box all auto change. I just need to set the clock on my microwave at some point, lol!~

    Which reminds me that I'm missing my own copy of Rocky Horror and Blazing Saddles - and Seven Samurai which was the inspiration for the western that Blazing Saddles was a spoof of.

    during rain delay were discussing end of daylight time.  One says, let's see, fall back, spring forward.  As if this was a revelation.  Of course, they didn't know how long to talk 'til the game might start.
