Don't forget to turn your clocks back one hour on Saturday night.

Thanks for the reminder, Rolly! I can certainly use an extra hour's sleep this weekend.

How do you plan to manage that? Smile

Not quite as bad as the guy on another forum who claimed he'd been coming to Mexico for several centuries.

If I go to bed at my usual time, let's say 1 a.m., and get up at my usual time, let's say 9 a.m., I will really have gone to bed at midnight, thus adding an hour to my sleep time.

Oh, I see how you might get an extra hour, but your first post read like you were looking forward to a whole extra night. Wink

Since I wake up as soon as it gets light, I never even get the extra hour. Oh, well!

You're right. That is what I wrote. Let's see if it's too late to edit.

Rolly, Yes. . . . thanks for that reminder. Seriously now, how do most folks handle switching the time on many electronic devices that have been brought from NOB to Mexico and automatically switch from the standard time NOB to daylight savings time and reverse? I have been just doing everything twice. For example yesterday I changed all the clocks manually. Next month several of my devices including my watch will automatically make those changes for the timing changes NO. Then I have to go back and reset the electronic devices. Is there a way to change the "brain' for these electronic devices that anyone would care to share?

Thanks,
