Like usual, I will be attempting to go and get a burger and return before I left.

Maybe you should let it be known what part of the globe you are referring to.. I just had to wind my clocks forward an hour.

And while it's a bit late, let me throw in this:

If you are adjusting a mechanical clock, do not just crank the hands back an hour willy-nilly. This can do nasty things like make your hours strike incorrectly.

Instead, stop the pendulum for an hour then start it swinging again. If you walk off and forget to start it up in an hour move the hands forward to catch back up, but let each striking or chiming sequence complete before moving on.

There are lots of mechanisms that are self correcting, but that can be a very expensive bet to make.

Remember, it's not "retreating" it's "advancing in a different direction".

If you find yourself getting too worked up about stuff that isn't real (RP Threads etc), then go outside, breathe in some fresh air and try feeding the ducks. (Because ducks don't care about your politics, religion, skin colour, choice of music or even your haircut. They like everyone, provided you bring them food.)
