Out of the Blue

Happy Standard Time to everyone who had to change their clocks today, as the end of Daylight Saving Time is once again upon us. For a hot minute there it seemed like there was momentum behind legislation to make the United States go with permanent Daylight time, but that seems to have petered out. An article on the Washington Post makes the case for why Standard time is healthier for people than Daylight time, so maybe permanent Standard time would be preferable. But I don't know anyone who thinks that jacking the clock back and forth twice a year is working well, so hopefully this isn't the last we've heard of this.

I have to admit that having a reliable clock - my phone - makes it much more tolerable, but yeah, despite all the automation, I have several clocks I have to adjust:

4 digital clocks, none of which support DST
8 watches (I'm a watch snob)
1 Oven Clock
2 Electro-mechanical clocks in the pool patio
3 Cars. Annoyingly, my wife's 2018 Navigator, which is connected to Wifi at home, to get updates over night, for some deranged reason doesn't time sync when it does it's updates and I still have to manually reset her clock.
