What is worse for me is getting the damn thing back on the nail!!! I climb on top of my desk to get to this one. Got to love an old commercial rolltop. It was my dad's.

BTW look again at the clock numbers.

The instrument on the left is an old barometer that belong to my grandfather... and it still works!

Yes it does. People think I flip the image, but the numbers would be back ass wards.

I have another that the numbers are all over the place in disarray.... And it says "who cares" at the top.

I think your clock is dyslexic.

The other runs counter clock wise. This one is dyslexic... Now I know why they work so well for me!

The senate passed a bill to end DST in Nov. 2023 yesterday. Now it's up to the congressmen to finalize it. Maybe it will happen this time

Because they're still adjusting to the time change.

Analog barometers............you can still buy them............I have a pocket watch version in my truck. Roll top desks....gotta love them. Great way to hide paperwork messes from house guests, kids, dogs, etc.

When I was an active fishing guide I never adjusted my morning pick up times with the time change. Charter starts at sunrise, whatever the clock says. This dst change is a complete waste of time (haha) I guarantee that farmers still work from sunup to sundown too. Ignoring what the clock says.
