The good thing is my bedroom alarm clock will finally show the correct time after months and months...

Most of the time pieces I rely on change themselves at the appropriate moment except for my old Casio wrist watch. It stopped doing that last March and now I suppose I’ll have to fiddle around searching that youtube vid again to see how to manually do it tomorrow. It was supposed to calibrate itself via the atomic clock at Ft. Collins but I guess the link is broken.

I’m retired now.

I don’t care what the clock says.

There's no such thing as "saving time" nor "getting another hours' sleep".

Sure there is. Play the Glad Game!! Great stuff..

The sundial of Ahaz was set back ten "degrees", which in 24 hour-speak = 40 minutes, which "just so happens" to be the difference between a Mars-Day and a day on Earth, yet both are counted as being 24 hours.

That was King Hezekiah's sign that God would heal him and add 15 years to his life, so he could go up to the house of the Lord on the third day. That made him very happy.

And just like that, the third day (the day named for Mars) keeps on keeping on. Every day on Mars is therefore the third day, but since the word is spoken as "twos" day people might not be aware.

(one hour = 15 degrees of rotation.)

Flight 15 is expected to go down today in about an hour. That's little Ingenuity for you. NASA had to step it up to 2700 RPM, the number of letters in the little book of Jonah ("dove").

Talk about timing:

Flight #15 - Start of the Return Journey

But in the east, where the sun rises first, the clocks return to EST. For most of the year the first sunrise in the lower 48 is on Mars Hill, named after Hezekiah Mars.

(If anyone wants to look that up the address is 37 Graves, the place of the Big Rock and the First Wind. ~ Ezekiel)

Standard time in the US is 127 days in non leap years.

If it weren't in the Megillah who would ever believe it?

It truly is a weird little world out there, because

The meaning of the name Mordecai is given in the Strong's Concordance as "little man" or "worshiper of Mars". Now *that's* funny! James Strong was way ahead of his time. Maybe he was aware that the sages said that Esther had a green complexion.

The dial of.. "Ahas"; that is to say, revelation, the revealing of the hidden. Just like the sign says.

Dial it back in order to move forward fast! Why wait? It's a paradox, because everyone could use a second opinion.

I disagree.

My alarm is set for 5:30 AM {I'm usually awake, but if not...} and I usually go to sleep about 10:30 PM and during the night, tonight my clock will reset its self to Eastern Time and drop back from 3 to 2 AM so instead of me getting 7 hours I'll sleep for 8 hours {if I sleep that long}.

Sounds like an extra to me.

I know that in the spring, I'll lose an hour during the night, but tonight, why is that not an extra hour?

... I’ll have to build one for the grandkids....

Go for it!

About a decade ago I built "Tiny-Town" on the basement floor.
Lego and Lincoln Log buildings, H.O. gauge model trains,
the "NASCAR" slot car racetrack, taped down construction
paper 'roads' for the Matchbox and Hot Wheels car & trucks.

I also found on the internet and inkjet printed out,
folded and taped together paper buildings to bulk out
and beautify the 'village'.

It was very well received - so my advice is do it.
And have the camera ready.

Hell, change ‘em randomly, day by day. Get a broken one for laughs! And what’s up with changing by an hour, exact? Why not 39 minutes and 2.5 seconds?

Better still, return to railroad time.

I love your screen name and welcome to FR.

I hope your will post something to further explain it, but I already have a picture in my brain, so if not, OK.

I am preparing for spring-forward by not changing them. 🤡

It's an extra hour, or an hour less, only in perception.

Time is a Godly creation and no matter how hard or twisted man tries .... we are created, not creators.

Thanks.
I believe that I have some of the photos on another
computer (which is currently in boxes unassembled).
So 'If and When', you know - when found & available I will post them.
Since you asked, ya know...

The clock beside my bed never changes.

The directions that came with it a couple of years ago said it would automatically change .... but it never does.
