Seems I forgot to post this draft from March 10. Please note it is not time to reset any clocks as this gets posted on August 24th!
Today is the beginning of Daylight Savings Time. Thankfully, the computers and phones changed automatically leaving only one watch, the microwave and the truck clocks to manually change.
The time change in November really wound us up. We had crossed 3 time zones, turned around and headed back toward South Carolina and then needed to fall back. My son thought my mind must be ticking down when I called to ask for the correct, east coast time.
We learned our lesson about changing the clocks in a timely fashion instead of trying to do the math in our heads, all the while wondering why it should make a difference. We are retired after all and there are no schedules to adhere to but as long as the rest of the world marches to the beat of a second hand or a flashing digit, I guess we should at least pay some attention.
As I write this, there are Pileated Woodpeckers entertaining us with their wood boring skills. It reminds me that even wild animals have a sense of time and place for migrating, mating, nesting. They just don't have to worry about time zones and the silliness of losing or gaining an hour.
