Several years ago I bought two of those "Atomic" clocks, one for my house and one for my studio. They set themselves based on a radio signal from the National Atomic Clock. One attraction was that they automatically set themselves for DST when it started and back to standard time when it ended. Apparently the National Atomic Clock wasn't told about the change, since neither of my clocks reset itself this morning and I had to manually reset them. They've corrected for the changes automatically for four years before. How much do you wanna bet that they will reset themselves on April 1 ??!! This is another case of where the US Congress should have just done what it does best --- absolutely nothing. Personally, I favor abolishing DST completely.
