Remember, for those on daylight savings time, the time will change at 2:00 AM on
Sunday April 6th. Set your wrist worn digital rf generators, wind up wonders,
sun dials or whatever you keep track of time with, ahead by one hour. Spring
ahead, Fall back. 	
	
How does one set a sun dial for daylight savings time anyhow? 	
	
The HCI pre-Net will be at 12:45 PM EDT, (1645 UTC) and the Net proper at 1:15
PM EDT, (1715 UTC). The frequency will be 14.293 Mhz usb +/- for key clicks,
mike splatter and the low rumble of mortal mumblings about forgetting to set
their watches and alarm clocks and missing the Sunday morning educational
cartoons. How can one drink their morning coffee without Babar the Elephant
anyhow?    	
	
I have one electronic clock that talks that is helpful, but annoying. It knows
when to change the time and does so without any assistance from me. Which is
great, as I forget how to set which clock what way and spend half the day
reading my Braille clock setting notes! Then it reminds me every hour, on the
hour, for the first day of daylight savings time "I have corrected for daylight
time. There is nothing you need to do. Except set the other clocks in this place
that are too stupid to do it for themselves! Do you remember how?" After about
two of these courtesy reminders, I pull out the 9vdc battery until the following
day. 	
	
Hope to hear you tomorrow. So wake up and be there!
