With daylight savings taking place last Sunday we turned all our clocks forward an hour. The clocks on our computers and Tivo did this automatically. Tivo even sent me an email reminder. Those clocks on our stove and microwave took a few minutes to change. The digital clock in our Honda Odyssey is the easiest to change because it has two simple buttons: Hour and Minute. I pressed the hour button once. Done. It’s so simple and straight-forward I don’t know why other companies don’t copy their design. The BMW was pretty easy to change but I had to pull out the manual. Next time I’ll know that little skinny knob that I assumed reset the trip computer actually sets the time.
As I was getting on the train last night I noticed the digital clocks at the station hadn’t been updated. Now maybe setting the clocks at the train station is more difficult than I know. Entirely possible. But wouldn’t you assume that, along with airport clocks, those at the train station should be as accurate as possible? Maybe the guy whose job it is to change the clocks called in sick Monday? But here it is Tuesday morning and as I got off the train and looked up to see the station clocks still a hour behind.
According to this sign at King Street station, I have an hour and 17 minutes before my train departs.
