PSA- Fall Back-Day light saving is this Sat Night when you go to bed!

Ya know I was thinking about this the other day. At one time, time change was a major deal. I can remember growing up seeing folks show up for Sunday School that usually only came to church and during spring forward, folks missing all together. Nowadays, with the move to a smart phone in every hand, it isn't a big of a deal. I don't have to worry about swapping over an alarm clock to the new time because I don't own one. My phone is my alarm clock and the time adjusts automatically. Even as someone in tech, I hate smartphones for the most part and think they are taking society in the wrong direction but, this is one area where they are very convenient.
 
I never set it back. I just go to bed and get up the same time I did on Saturday. Then when I get back home on Sunday AM from hunting I set them back. It is all the same time, it just a matter of what the clock says and waking up at 5 am vs. 4 am at least in my mind makes me less tired 😂 .

Amazon Echo Dot with the clock display makes a great alarm clock.

Also listens to EVERY word you say. I refuse to have any voice assistants in my home. Even disable Siri and Google on phones

Certainly there are two schools of thought on the issue. Mine is that I'm not interesting enough to worry about who is listening. ;) I certainly don't have any gripe with your position.
