Sometimes, I would like to set mine back to 1966.

I'd go for 1775.  Back then this country had balls and "chicks" didn't

Any of my clocks that don't access a time server never get set. My stove says it's 11:00 right now, and the nuke says it's 1:00... It's really 2:30 according to everything else.

Your house sounds like mine @roamer_1 . lol.  I have one clock that has the correct time just because I don't want to exercise my brain to remember what time it really is. The rest of the clocks? Nothing is correct. I figure it keeps my mind active. I dated a guy a while back that my time keeping method made crazy. He would come in and start setting my clocks and I would walk behind him "unsetting" them. No problem to me...he didn't like dogs either.

I do wish they would quit screwin' around with the time. Leave it on one or the other.

Nahhh. Life was pretty tough (and brief) way back then.  The best years for the United States were sometime between 1946 and 1966, as I see it.

But you're right: only men had balls, there were only two genders, the schools still taught us real and useful things, most families were intact (and frequently went to church that way).

Families were intact, and so was dad.

No thanks!  I was enjoying an extended vacation in SE Asia at that time courtesy of my Uncle Sam and would prefer not to revisit that.  1960 would be good though.

What is this "Daylight Saving Time" of which you speak?  My clocks never change.

I just don't care that much @berdie ... I don't use those clocks for time anyhow... For timers, yeah, but clocks... nah... Besides, it would piss me off way more if they were trying to give me time, but one or the other was off by a minute or something... that would give me fits... a kinda ADHD thing would kick in. So I just don't try to get em to tell me the time. Besides, the cell is always on me, and I am generally using a tablet or sitting in front of a laptop or desktop if I am here, so getting at the time from any of those very accurate sources is never far away.

Shoot, for that matter, all I have to do is poke my ear and say, "Hey Google, what time is it?" and half the time she will tell me right there.... The other half of the time, well, she still don't understand redneck very well.  :shrug: :whistle:

And I prefer the company of dogs and horses btw.  happy77
