No matter how wrong he is, he will never admit it.


That would require intelligence to realize he had made a mistake and
balls to admit that he made the mistake. The Acehole is known to be
short on both counts.

I think you are wrong. It is not because of his lack of intelligence
and missing cojones. It is due to this lack of integrity and
character.

It does not. It is 7 hours ahead today and it will be 8 hours ahead
tomorrow. I am in the Pacific time zone.

That married Irish woman wayyyyyyyy over yonder across the big pond in
Bogner Regis,England, on the Coast, about sixty - sixty five something
miles South/Southwest of London, she sets her clock back an hour a day
or two (something like that) before we do over here in America.

Live and learn, mea culpa!
I discovered that I had misconfigured the DST offset awareness
in the Garmin and it does indeed recognize the DST flag.

...plus all the other clocks got good sync,
now reading correctly,
even the two solar atomic watches.

They still had Western Union clocks at the network affiliates when I was
a kid. They set themselves via telegraph line.

I have a lot of old, old, old, wind up clocks and electric clocks.One of
them I am looking at right now is small, but it is very heavy, it says,
The Measuregraph Company
St.Louis.U.S.A.
1922

Another old clock I have is what I think is called a Watchman's Clock,
it is inside of a leather case. A Watchman, or a Guard, would make his
rounds, doing Guard duty.He would go from place to place and insert a
key into the clock and turn the key so as to prove he wasen't sleeping
on the job.Another old clock I have is a Hotel clock.There are a lot of
little levers (which can be slid back and forth) all around the dial of
the clock.

I have more old clocks (and quite a few old wris****ches) and old radios
and many other kinds of weird old thingys than you can shake a stick at,
and that is the Truth.
