Luxury! In my day, we had a sundial. Every spring, I'd have to stand outside with a lantern for an hour to set the stupid thing forward, then in the fall I'd have to hold a tarp over it for an hour to set it back.
ROFL
That's nothing. In my day, we had a water clock. Every spring, I'd have to lug heavy jugs full of water down from the mountains to pour in the clock to turn it forward. Then in the fall, I had to get under the relief valve and drink the extra hour away to turn in back!
Of course, you tell the youth of today that and they won't believe you!
