Daylight Savings

 Edition 1 Clock by Stefan Strumbel

If it weren't for an email from my dad, I would be an hour off today. I never seem to know when to set the clocks back, and I'm truly ambivalent about doing so. On the one hand, we get an extra hour of sleep. On the other hand, New England will now be dark at 4 p.m. At least it serves as an excuse to look at some really cool clocks.

    It gets dark here at about 4pm as well. Hmph! This is the time of year I go into hibernation with my bottle of Vitamin D pills.
    I'm in love with the wall of clocks. It's something that I never thought of before and now I don't think I can live without! xx

    Cool picks, we changed our clocks last weekend, so I had a nice extra hour schnoozing away...
    There's this strange Chinese superstition, that you're not supposed to buy clocks or watches as a gift for someone - particularly on their b'day, as it signifies the tick tock/mins/hours towards your death! Freeeeaky!

    That first clock is GREAT. I know my BF woke up an hour late this morning, his weird alarm clock was set to Pacific Time rather, the Mountain Zone that we are in....anyhoo! Have a fabulous week!

    Good question! I'd guess yes, but I'll have to do some investigating.
