It's alive!

2.5 years ago, we received a wall clock as a wedding present. This wall clock, isn't just any old wall clock, it's an ATOMIC clock; that is, the clock hanging above our TV receives a signal from the National Atomic Clock in Fort Collins, Colorado. Now, the beautiful aspect of this clock is that on days when there is a time change due to day light savings time, the clock changes time on it's own. That's right, when we wake up and check our side table time, it's one hour behind the "atomic clock" time. So, we know, something special happened today.

The weird thing is throughout the day, the clock resets to the previous (now incorrect time) throwing you completely off! And it does it all on it's own. This is an analog clock, so the hands literally start spinning clockwise (on it's own.) When the apartment is quiet, and you all of a sudden hear a vibrating noise, you follow the sound with your ear, and see that the clock is ALIVE!

Anyway, it'll happen one more time tonight, while it resets to the proper as based on the signal received from Colorado.

The first time we had friends over, we had to take the batteries out and have it reset in front of them for them to believe that the clock hands start rotating on their own. That was a funny scene. We should have video taped it. We're crazy-weird like that.
