Last night. My old iphone says it’s 4:47, my watch suggests 5:47. In all the excitement of Halloween and the election and the plague, I just forgot about changing the clock.

Your watch is defective. Just toss it this way.

Q, you and I seem to frequent this place at all hours. Might I guess you're an insomniac as well?
And yeah, I fell back but got up. LOL

Followed the time change and fed my dog at the usual 0500, which in her mind was 0600. I got the "WTF?" treatment. Now I have to go outside and take a scolding from the horses...

In a perhaps unrelated note, my phone calendar reminded me that an asteroid might hit Earth tomorrow. It’s a little dinky one though, so even if it did, it wouldn’t be a real bad deal. Especially compared to the rest of this shit that’s going on.
The interwebs are saying it might be good to start worrying about something bad happening in 2068, though. A big asteroid called “The God of Chaos” could hit us that year. I’ll be dead by then, probably, so you younger folks will have to handle my share of the worrying. Thank you.

The main clock stays on MST, currently ahead +2 of EST. I'll get around to the others by Tuesday ...
In the 'future' people will live in their own time cycle, with computers integrating their chosen cycle with the world around them.

Yup, Daylight Wasting Time is upon us.

Daylight Savings time ending snuck up on me this year. I thought it was still a couple weeks away.

I just set six clocks. The sundial was especially difficult. My other clocks were adjusted automatically.
"Daylight savings time" is a lie; not one second of daylight is saved. Perhaps it should be called "Clock adjusted time".

There always seems to be an uptick in this with the end of DST.

In Arizona we don't do daylight savings time.

Luckily, any of my analog clocks that require a ladder to reach are automatically set. That doesn't include changing a battery every year or so.

My internal clock has been out of whack since college days. It's unrepairable.
On a related note, the clock on my microwave tells the correct time again! Well, at least until spring I guess.

Since we don’t play the DST game here in AZ, I don’t have to reset any clocks, but I DO have to reset my BRAIN to remember the time difference between Central and Eastern time, since the other folks in my organization with whom I regularly speak are in those time zones. Resetting clocks might be easier than resetting my old brain...

I can't figure out why we still do this every year... it seems like an anachronism that has no useful purpose. Good for AZ! The rest of us should follow suit.
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

I've been out of sync with the World since birth. I typically fall asleep around 0400 (when "morning people" are getting up).
My computer, cable box, and phone self-adjust; I have one clock that stays on CST; but I have to reset my alarm clock (no biggie) and grandfather clock (a real pain).

Haven't experienced DST in 6 years...one less worry is nice.
