16. Oh, damn! Again?

Oct 2020

For some unknown reason, my wife and I have a clock on just about every wall of our house, along with clocks beside the bed and scattered elsewhere around the house. No two of them display the same exact time, except the one on the cable DVR and the ones on our computers and mobile devices.

So, on Sunday, I'll have to reset all of those non-automatic clocks. The worst of them are digital clocks that each have their own method for time-setting. Do I need to hold down the Mode button for two seconds and then step through all of the settings? Damn! Or is this clock one of those weird ones that uses some other strategy? What a dilemma!
