What time is it?

Who the hell decided that clocks should be "smart?" I woke up this morning and saw my nicely back-lit digital readout telling me it was 5:41. Being sensible, I rolled over and unsuccessfully tried to go back to sleep. Failing, I got up and stumbled out to the kitchen, turned on the coffee pot, and noticed that the oven, microwave, and wall clocks all read 6:50.

The damned bedside clock had automatically reset to account for the reversion to standard time. Either there's no provision for the owner living in one of the few places that don't switch, or I neglected to account for it when I originally set the thing a year ago. Arrgh!
