Yah we've got the one in the living room and the kitchen
stove clock. IF they're inccurate that's Kathy's problem.
i use my braille watch on my wrist, or the computer, or to
get minutes past the hour I use the national bureau of
standards wwv on shortwave just to see if the computer's
setting its clock three mornings a week like it's supposed
to . WE'll have to make sure time on the alarm clock is
right tonight though as I've gotta get Kathy up, gotta go to the car wash,
vacuum out the van and then go pick up some
new to us office furniture tomorrow.

I sure didn't either. Have read that accident rates go up
when they change the time like that. .
