Spring ahead! Fall back! Since daylight is being "saved", think about

Then I saw the clock on my stove was an hour earlier.  When I was
a kid I had manually change all the clocks which helped a bit, but now
with almost every clock in the house automatically changing the time by
the time I wake up it's like I involuntarily time traveled without
knowing it.

I don't have magic clocks that automatically know the time. And I don't
want them.

I had to get a new alarm clock back last year. It sets the time itself
including adjusting for Daylight Savings Time. Oh, and of course my
computer resets the time automatically. Which is enough for me. I can
reset my watch and microwave when I think about it.

I don't wear a watch (haven't for many years, as pretty much EVERYTHING that includes electronics in it these days has a visible clock) and I just never set the clock on the microwave or electric stove in the first place.

I do set the stove, it's another reference point for me to keep track of time when I have to be somewhere, and can't see the others.

I can't get out of line of sight of a clock anymore.  Sitting here at my desk there are *counts* three different "clocks" in line of sight.  The only place in my apartment where there isn't a visible clock is in the bathtub and that's only if I pull the curtain closed.

You have a lot more than I do. At my computer, I can check it, or scoot my chair back to look at the video player, but they're not quite line of sight. I have to turn around to look at the stove, but it's too far away to actually read.
