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.

For me it is the microwave, the oven/stone, the wall clock, my 1978 GE clock radio, and my car.
Haha, I remember that my parents used to have a 70's clock radio in their bedroom when I was a kid. They might even have bought it in the 60's. I recently noticed that my dad still has it in his garage when I went over their house recently. He also had all of my original Star Wars toys that came out in time for Xmas in '77. My dad is a big time packrat apparently.
dude if you still have original 70s star wars toys in good condition, those might be worth a lot of money.
