Daylight Savings Time

While driving across town today, my clock read 2:05, and I thought that seemed off, and earlier than I had thought.  Well, of course, I had forgotten to change my car clock ahead one hour for daylight savings time.  I fixed my clock, and then could hear my dad telling me, "if you had set your alarm for 2:00 am and moved all your clocks ahead an hour you wouldn't have had this problem."  My dad loved to remind people that the time change takes place at 2:00 am, so he would joke that you had to get up to fix the time right at the switch.  He would tell this to strangers, while in line at the bank, or store.  Strangers would not know what to do with this crazy person telling them to get up at 2:00 am, instead of the obvious change of clocks before bed.  As years went on, he would leave me a message each time, and he would leave it in a very serious voice...."Yeah, hi honey, this is dad.  I know you are busy but I needed to leave you a message to remind you to set your alarm for 2:00 am, so that you can get those clocks changed to the right time."  I would always call him back to tell him how crazy he was.  For all the laughs, he really was a great reminder......now I face a far less hilarious reminder to change the clocks.
