All that’s happening tomorrow is a bunch of people will change what their clock SAYS.

Which is fine by me as I still go by the clock. And that clock gives me an extra hour of daylight in April (which is taken back in early November).

Maybe when I retire, I won't pay as much attention to the clock. But now I'm sort of a slave to it.

No it doesn’t. You get the exact same amount of daylight, just different numbers on your clock for various positions of the sun.

The furbabies can’t read the clock. They get up when the sun comes up. My alarm is them.

Yeah, once you're retired, you can pretty much ignore clocks and calendars (except for those occasional pesky doctor appointments, or if you want to show up at church when other folks are there too, or remember your spouse's birthday on the right day, or other stuff like that).

At other times, retirees can take many different approaches to these twice-yearly clock adjustments.   For example, they can rebel against it, and just turn the clock back a half an hour.   Or they can turn their calendar back a month instead.   Or they can get one of these clocks shown below, and have a little fun with it.)        :-)
