21. I have a clock that automatically changed itself!

Sun Nov 2, 2025, 01:29 PM

Sunday

I just bought a new clock this past summer, and little did I know .... it connected itself to my Wifi. It already knew the correct time this morning, even before I figured out that Daylight Savings Time was over.

Hah! I was trying to figure out why the new one didn't match my other clocks, and it was before I'd had my morning coffee. Then it dawned on me because my computer time matched my new clock's time, and the other wind-up clocks didn't.
