¡Teléfono(s) celular(es)! El reloj se cambia automáticamente [the clock changes itself automatically.]

My in-law bought me an atomic clock, a clock that automatically keeps time and adjusts itself to DST.

And that’s the third DST joke I’ve read so far.

It IS a joke—especially this early in the year!

Like remembering how to tell a coral snake: Black , yellow black is a friend of Jack. Black yellow red will kill you dead…or was it black, yellow, red friend of Fred?

Just look at the time on your friendly home computer.

Springing, falling…maybe we’re sprawling? Buenas dias, compadres de comicas!

my atomic clock went off so why;s this comic strip still here?

The only clocks I have to adjust are the Microwave and the Car

The joys of not having any daily commitments is that I wake up whenever my body tells me to.

Since that last posting (this morning) it’s now six with the finale at Daddy’s Homeanswering Tony’s question about DST.

Well, given tat there’s only on of the contiguous 48 (AZ)… Actually, there;s a switch you set when you first program the clock that tells it to ignore DST. Most of Indiana used to be “Ignore” territory . I have three “atomic” clocks – they’re actually set by a Very Low Frequency radio transmitter in Colorado – WWVB, at 60 kHz. You can’t get it on your normal AM/FM radio, although if you have a SHORTWAVE radio, you can get the sister station; WWV. The “atomic” part is that the time data is directly driven by the Master Atomic Clock System at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder.
