Commie plot? Don't know. I'm a night owl, so early darkness and late light make me happy. On Saturday when time is going to change I set my clocks for Sunday's time but don't change my watch until bedtime Saturday night. If one adheres to the old spring watch idea that it is better to move a clock or watch ahead than back, it is much easier to set clocks and watches one hour ahead than one hour back. With digital clocks, it is not too bad to set them 11 hours forward, which is really one hour back. With analogs, I just unplug them for an hour (or deactivate my watch's battery). How do I know when the hour is over? Well, I look at my digital clocks or i set a windup kitchen timer!
