When you DO finally change your clock, remember, to turn it AHEAD in
March. Otherwise you could have this problem (below) which often
happens in November.


I NEVER just "turn it ahead" or "turn it back". I set the CORRECT TIME.
That corrects for any drift (clock was slow or fast).

But how do you know what the CORRECT TIME is?

When I was young, you could call TIME on a landline phone, and they kept
repeating the time every 10 seconds or so, right to the second. I dont
think that service exists anymore. At least not where I live.

Well, I better get off the computer and prepare for all of this, so I'm
ready at 2:00am. Now, if only I could remember where I put my black
marker....
