We do daylight saving time in NYS. Last night, during the church social, I walked around all the offices, and class rooms. Changed clocks, and clock batteries.
Every year, three or four days later, I'm finding clocks at home that havn't been changed.
Digital camera, thermostat, computer, cell phone, van radio, truck radio, and the list goes on.

Why bother. Just means that the things turn on an hour differently. I suppose it might make a difference in the coffee maker since you are getting up on DST, but I can't see it making any difference if any of the other things comes on an hour "early".
Computer? Cell phone? What are you using, 1980s technology?
My watch lives in my wallet, without a strap, after I got tired of replacing straps every few months due to wear... the mechanism for setting the hands is a little unreliable, so I just leave it alone and remember to adjust time mentally by an hour as needed. I've probably been doing that for 15 years now.
Of all the things in the house - other than the watch - I think I only really use four to ever tell the time, and two of those are 'net- connected and adjust automatically anyway. Everything else just runs free according to whenever the power last went out, and I know to ignore them.

You think that's tough, try resetting the clocks in a herd of cows who get milked at 5am daily, no matter what! You cant just move their hands an hour ahead, (because they dont have hands) :)
I'm working on an invention to make this resetting of clocks unnecessary. Essentially my invention is a clock with two hour hands, one hour apart.
The red one, one hour ahead of the blue one, is the Daylight Savings Time hand, the other is normal time. Once set, you only have to remember whether it's hot outside or cold.
Investment in the project is being solicited.
Could you adjust that big yellow thing in the sky? It sank below the horizon an hour late this afternoon.
Gerbil power. It's so, so 1950s.

Naah, the EPA would not permit me. Obama, and his crew.
I bet Bush II would let me.

Put me down for five bucks. I'll buy a couple shares of your stock with my five bucks.

Hi, Think about collective time spent fiddling with time pieces for the country. Lots of wasted time for nothing. My cat did not wake me up this morning at 6:30. He does not know DST, LOL!
The DST mandate - especially the recent damn change Something I've always expected. It costs MORE than it saves. Who would have thunk it? Congress doesn't usually make those kinds of serious errors. Arf, arf like HELL it doesn't!

Weren't there supposed to be some health benefits from DST? Supposedly, indoor workers would have more daylight each day to exercise and such outside after work. It appears to me that people are getting fatter and lazier. Of course, our lying weasels won't repeal DST. They're doing it for our own good, they say.
Not only. Think of the chickens!
Mr Rooster may very well sleep through dawn and then where would we be?
Late for work. What a c*ck not up!
(C*ck is slang term for rooster.)

The even more interesting part was the reaction of the Greens and certain other groups to this bit of blasphemy. Kotchen and Grant had all sorts of aspersions cast upon their work, their integrity, and their lineage. Hell hath no furry as a bureaucrat scorned.
