Changing the clocks is one thing and not a problem as I just do it before I go to bed tonight. It's changing the darn clock in my car that finds me pulling my hair out and reading the manual trying to figure out which button to push next. :roll:

I have found driving one time zone west in spring solves the clock-in-the-car problem ; and, of course, returning in the fall.

Bird flu.... It has such a natural ring to it....

Gee.... Time flies too. Suppose there's a connection?

Yep, except we've got time flu and the GD government's got flies.

Yep, Henry has one of those with the phases of the moon on it too. He's going crazy trying to figure out how to adjust the moon for DST.

The only clock I have is one that I made. It has only the four directions on it. I run on Indian time. Screw the government.

Speaking of the government...
When the government moves the old-age-pension clock from 65 to 67, will that be a fast one?

I wonder if he pays attention to the time if he's away from his home-made clock. Maybe he has a wristsundial?

Yep, Cliff's sundial has luminous numbers on it so he can tell the time at night!

Been through that, the one on the electric range is almost impossible to change, it seems like you have to push the button forever with about 300 lbs. pressure. My old stereo was another real ordeal, it seemed like you had to push two buttons at the same time while turning the third one with your mouth. :lol::lol:

What makes it even harder is that I have a choice of either using the 24-hour clock or regular time but even trying to change that is almost ridiculous. I think I will just leave it alone and wear a watch. :lol:

I got screwed up,as I left Saskatchewan to come to Alberta yesterday set all my clocks ahead an hour glad to get back the one I lost going there 22 days ago,I didnt realize the time change was happening that night and now I feel like I have been ripped off an hour.
Alberta is now on Sask. time so I didnt have to change anything.

As Saskatchewan has no daylight saving time they dont tell you this stuff on the radio.

You're listening to the wrong radio stations, I heard it several times on my favourite station, as a sort of mocking comment on how we in Saskatchewan don't have to engage in this foolishness.

Strangely, I've never piloted a combine. Tractors pulling cultivators, discs, harrows, sprayers, rod weeders, and rakes, swathers, balers, yes, and trucks from the quarter ton to the 18-wheeler size, but never a combine. I don't know why.

Thats what my Maramichi buddy I live with calls Saskabush folks.They call him a Newfy though and he's a New Brunswicker.
So he calls them combine pilots.
I try not to get involved in the politics,just keep a low profile and dont make eye contact with anyone.

Ron,Do I have to wear a seatbelt in Sask? I havent yet because no one else is so im wondering,also do they have a distracted driver law?
