Oh yes, look at it like that, even more confusing.:eek::D
But, don't forget, some of you out there don't change your clocks at all. So, you will stand still in time,
while the rest of us will fall back to where we were before last fall, which is ahead of what time is now:confused:

So, who doesn't change? Is it certain places or certain time zones?

It's funny.....I have lived in the south for my entire life, so I have never even thought about how things work elsewhere!

And most importantly, don't forget to adjust your automatic timers for your torts lights, misters, etc!

Probably not a good idea. Remember, the torts don't use clocks. The "day" didn't change. Our recording of its passage did.

I don't change my timers. I adjust my schedule so the animals don't have to change theirs.

They do not use clocks, but they do use things like the sun which does naturally change and daily.

Yes, they do, but it doesn't change by an hour. It's something more like one minute longer or shorter per day.

Why? It's still going to be on for the set time, in my cast 14 hours. Who cares if it's 14 hours starting at 6a or at 7a?
