The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

We changed the clocks last night or officially at 2:00 a.m. Does anyone set their alarm at 2 to change their clocks and watches? I know I don’t. Thank goodness most things are automatic these days. I remember days gone by when it took at least an hour to change all the clocks, the VCR (remember those?), the answering machine, and my watch.

This is the time of year we gain the hour we lost in Spring. But are we gaining an hour? It will still get darker earlier; the days will feel shorter, making me feel lethargic. Mugsy (like all other dogs, cats, hamsters, etc.) has no concept of daylight...
