The End of Daylight Savings Time is Sunday, November 1

Istiqlal (Independence), 8 ‘Ilm (Knowledge), 172 BE - Friday, October 23, 2015 about 1:59 PM Pacific Daylight Time

This year, Daylight Savings Time ends on Sunday, November 1. I need to take note of it because I have two clocks to manually reset. I have to reset the clock on the stove and on the microwave. The rest of the clocks (the ones I go by) are automatically reset. I love modern technology, especially when it comes to clocks. The fewer clocks I have to reset the happier I am.

The only clock I have any difficulty resetting is the one on the microwave. I suppose I cloud just leave it the way it is right now and just reset the clock on the range. When I'm in the kitchen I use the electric range more then the microwave. In fact I use the microwave so little that it is still blinking from the last brown out we had in Las Vegas. I know that it occurred sometime in the summer, but I don't remember when.

Maybe I have too many clocks in my house. I have two in the kitchen, two in the living room, and one on my cellphone (which I carry with me). The clocks in the living room are on the cable box and the computer. Since I use the alarm on my cellphone I don't have an alarm clock. I used to have a radio alarm clock, but I give that away because I didn't use either the alarm or the radio. When I was younger I had a windup alarm, but I got rid of that clock years ago.

Daylight Savings Time

Jamál (Beauty), 8 ‘Alá (Loftiness), 164 B.E. – Saturday, March 8, 2008 about 9:08 PM PST

It's that time of year again. We set the clocks forward an hour at 2:00 AM. Everyone loses an hour of sleep this Sunday. I don't know what difference an hour is going to make. It's suppose to save energy, but I doubt that my power bill will be lower because of it.

I have to set all my clocks forward one hour. All right, not all of them. The clock on my computer will do it automatically. The clock in my car never fell back last fall. It's just too difficult to set the clock in the car. I'm going to have to have a new cable on the battery anyway, so when I get the money for that then I'll set the clock. I have only two clocks in the house to set, so I guess this is a good time to move them.

The alarm clock is in the living room now, setting on my dining room table. I'm going to move it to my bedroom; not the dining room table, but the alarm clock. I'm eventually going to move the dining room table back into the dining room. Right now, a hospital bed is in my dining room. I'm going to call about March 20 to get the hospital bed removed. Then I can put my dining room table back in the dining room.
