Tick-Tock
For those of us that got to set all our chronometers forward one base unit, how many times did you get to do that? You have to include the ones that actually made their own adjustment like your cell phone, each of your computers or from UTC signals. Don't forget the watches in the dresser drawer, the VRC or the car clocks you haven't gotten to yet.
I have 7 just in this office with a total of 19 that I've counted so far. I always seem to forget at least one.

I think 21. I didn't count watches in the drawers because my Gramps was a watch repairman and I have 2564386523762 watches.

No I don't. If they self-adjust, no effort is necessary on my part. Good thing, too, cuz we got the land line, each family member has their own cell, wife & I each have a PTT from our respective work, & there are 3 1/2 computers in the house. Bad enough I have to reset every TV-VCR-DVD-alarm clock every time the power blows (about once a month usually), at least I have some devices smart enough to figure out time on their own.
Just remembered another clock I don't have to worry about; my GPS. Couldn't set the time on that if I wanted, it checks in with the satellites all by its lonesome.

Your GPS is nothing but a bunch of clocks with a radio.

14 is what I can remember. Probably a couple more I'm just not thinking about right now. (I am counting those in our cars.)

NO, no, no. You just have to push the sun 15 degrees to the east.
.... and don't forget to take that hand full of sand out of your hourglass.
