Did you reset your clocks and watches?
Fo you use a watch anymore or just your mobile device?
About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

This REALLY helps! And it’s great coffee (and tea)
I use this when I travel both in these USA and abroad. Very useful. Fast enough for Zoom. I connect my DMR (ham radio) through it. If you use my link, they give me more data. A GREAT back up.

Loading ...This is really useful when travelling… and also when you aren’t and you need backup internet NOW! I use this for my DMR “Zednet” hotspot when I’m mobile. It’s a ham radio thing.
If you travel internationally, this is a super useful gizmo for your mobile internet data. I use one. If you get one through my link, I get data rewards.

But wait! I saw the president with a sign that said “Forward.” Apparently he can’t get even that right!
I don’t just wear a watch, I wear one that must be wound up.
I always get DST messed up. It’s too bad the rest of Canada can’t just be like Saskatchewan and leave the clocks alone. I really don’t get the point of DST.
Haven’t used a watch in 18 months or so. Clock watching is so ‘alpha male’. If I’m having fun, I carry on. If I don’t like it, I do something else.
Change your clocks on Saturday and your President on Tuesday.
Clocks – check. Wrist watch, always, check.
My internal chronometer didn’t get reset: I woke an hour earlier than I did yesterday.
Don’t forget to reset your President on Tuesday.
Mobile device. Though having to reach for it is getting annoying. I am thinking of getting some sort of a strap for it and attaching it to my wrist.
We are one of the few states that doesn’t have to do this. Yeah.
I use my cell phone “watch” I forget my wrist watch 99% of the time.
@ Kerry
“Change your clocks on Saturday and your President on Tuesday.”
Loved that.
I have a pocket-watch.
My computer and my Android both reset automatically at 2:00 a.m. on the changeover days.
It was just about 2 a.m. yesterday when I finished work and looked at my computer’s time, which had jumped back a whole hour – at first I couldn’t figure out why! I had forgotten all about the change of course. It’s a good thing I have that automatic reset. I was happy to not be going to bed so late after all.
I use my Android as both a watch and an alarm clock – I haven’t had either for a long time.
Just my iPhone – for watch and alarm clock and camera and Internet and reading this blog and writing this comment and sending text and email and oh sometimes I talk on it too, but rarely.
