... last Fall I bought three Atomic Clocks, and this recent time change was the first time I benefitted from them. I'll be 75 years old this month so I've had to deal with this stupid time change crap more than allot of others, that's why I bought the clocks.
That said, I'd be more than happy to see DST go the way of the Dodo. I'll settle for knowing that my clocks will keep perfect time except for the occasional battery changes.
Yeah, I've gotten atomic clock too. And it's funny because depending on where you place it in your house, it might or might not work. It's picking up that signal that is broadcast. And if I have it on the south wall of my office, it doesn't get the signal. If I move it to the west wall, it gets it just fine. So they're weird. But I've got little alarms and alarm clocks all over the house. I've got one in my garage, I've got one in my bedroom. And they're not internet connected so it's a pain to have to go around. Not to mention the microwave, the stove, all the little appliances, my car. Actually, I think my car updates automatically when it connects to Android auto. Because I don't think I had to do my car this year but I haven't checked it yet so I might still have to do my car. I hate those things.
And you don't look 75 years old from your profile picture. Are you doing like me and using an old profile picture? Mine is about 11 years old now lol.

Yeah, all those dam little clocks in everything from coffee pots to light switches sure makes the DST change a PITA. I say go to DST and stay there. You guessed it. My profile pic is a little dated, by about ten years. It's the last good picture of me I could find. I too have the problem of where to hang the clocks. I put them in different rooms in the same place as the clocks they replaced, and it looked like only one of them picked up the time signal. But after leaving them in place all night, they all eventually set themselves to the correct time. All this wouldn't be a problem if everything with a clock had a "spring forward" and "fall back" button.
