This is my alarm clock which I've had since I was 10(ish). To set the time you have to hold down the "CLOCK" button and then "HOUR" or "MINUTE", depending on which one you set. To set the clock back an hour, as one does during fall Daylight Savings, you have to press it 23 times. Because the clock is old and has been through young years of sticky fingers and my adolescent years of candle obsession (read: wax everywhere), all the buttons are a little touchy and sometimes you finally get to the 23rd hour but then it skips forward an hour, right where you started. Anyway, point is, I really hate changing this particular clock and usually put it off a few days. However, we had this crazy rain/ wind storm last night, and lost power. Not totally sure when that happened but, here's the crazy thing: it came back on at EXACTLY midnight! When those kinds of clocks get disconnected, they restart at 0 hours, or midnight. When I woke up this morning, the time was blinking (meaning it had been disconnected), but it was exactly right!! I was so pleased.
