Yeah, the worst is the clock in my car, I never seem to
remember how it works.

I am looking forward to staying in bed an hour longer,
if only the dog would get the switch <sigh>

Since the time change is officially 2 a.m. Sunday morning, are you tricking them or do they stay up real late? Laughing

We are going from DST to Standard Time... you would probably have to make about a 12° adjustment. But, of course, I am not a scientist. Confused

If you don't adjust your clock, you will be one hour early.

sundial? I'm not adept at this technology, in my neighborhood the sun comes up in the east and goes down in the west, I don't have a dial to control it.

There's a sundial at the University of Washington campus that has two bands of hours: winter and summer. It's kinda cool, as long as there's enough sun to make it work. Not always the case this time of year!

Pretty soon it's dark when we go to work and dark when we go home. A bit depressing for some folks.

Really? So why do the German car manufacturers have it for domestic
cars but not for exports?

Because radio controlled (car) clocks obviously don't work everywhere in the USA, and your FM-transmiiters don't send constantly time signals.

I know THAT from my navy times: 12° = one point (like in 'one point starboard')

The person who invented Daylight Savings Time, couldn't have had cats! Mad

Damn changing of the clocks back and forth!

Kitties started up nearly to the minute to the time we would have got up yesterday. Laughing
