I say ban clocks from the face of the earth!
Wake up when the light shines though the window and sleep when it get dark.
Work when you want. Eat when you want. Vote for me and I will make it
happen!

Since I retired that is how I live every day. I don't even wear a
watch.

Providing you watched the news or read the paper... I appreciated the
reminder. I have a job interview on Monday!

Mine are a pair of older Motorolas about 4 years or so old.

Shouldn't need to do that. Cellphones automatically set themselves
because they get the time from the cell system when they power up and
periodically after that. My phone even knew not to use DST when I turned
it on after landing in AZ last year but quickly changed when crossing
into CA. Even the first one I had in the early 90s set itself.

Well, of course, to be technical, it's not "The Cell System", it's just
the nearest tower. A year ago, I went on a road trip, all within the
same time zone, but right next to another time zone. Depending on the
terrain, it kept attaching to towers in the other time zone and changing
the time. I finally shut off that feature in disgust! I haven't turned
it back on, but probably should, since I seldom travel.

I screwed up again. I thought it was tomorrow night, and if it wasn't
for my Internet wifi connected alarm clock, I'd have not known it
until much later this morning! But still, I feel an hour behind now.
Good thing I don't go into work until 2:30PM! :-)

That's what retirement is like. Or being unemployed. I've been both
(temporarily) and it's great, except for the unemployment where the
pay really sucks, but the hours are great!

It's always a good reminder to replace the smoke-alarm batteries! Twice
a year ain't a severe hardship. It's a minor bother/chore.

In her small world, everything works differently.

In June, that wouldn't be nearly enough sleep.

I would be interested, though, in reading how you would make this all
happen.

But a "tower" is just a pile of hardware unless it is linked into the
cell system.

Sleep in June? Summertime I plan to make the most of it. Winter blues I
plan to sleep through it. The wonders of nature to provide more warmth and
sunshine I will be happy to get less sleep during the summer. I am now in
tune with the timings of nature.

How I make this happen... I am retired
If i was ruler of the earth it would be the law for all people to enjoy the
summer!

If all people were enjoying the summer you'd get mighty hungry after a
while.
