when making a clock should remember when having to change the battery don't mess with the hands..After installing a new battery the hands will automatically  go to 12 and stop. Then in a few minutes the hands will start moving again sometimes a full 12 hours without stopping then will stop on the right time. And sometimes they will start again and go directly to the right time..Its good to maybe add a little glue on each corner of the movement for when changing the battery if the movement slips the hands will be off a tad..and like always the movement will advance an hour in spring and fall back in the winter without little hands helping so don't touch the hands... Dave, I'm talking to you!?!?!?

It never would have been an issue Patch had Indiana not bought into that whole time change scheme a few years back.

For years, our time was the same Spring or Fall, the the politicians had to find a new area to meddle...

I check the bank every spring & fall; I can't find any record of daylight savings account.

Somebody told me you take a nap every spring and fall plus a few other times.

Savings is the key word there.  If you spend it it's gone for good.

Only in the summer and winter...

Besides if I'm napping that shouldn't be deducted from my account since I didn't use it.

Arizona doesn't change. But our atomic clocks, even though they are set for Arizona time, go nuts when the rest of the country changes. They circle the dial twice and return to where they started. Wasted effort.

If they circle the dial twice, technically then, you still lose a day, right?

But, it comes back the next go round....I think.
