Mar 9

My old clock radio automatically springs forward and falls back based on the old dates for daylight saving time. And because it also automatically syncs with the national clock, wherever that is (in CO?), I can’t even just change the time! I have to adjust the time zone I claim to live in four times per year in order to keep up with the times. Lame.
