They are a part of my weather stations that have the outdoor/indoor temperature, one has the outdoor/indoor humidity (which isn't really accurate), and one has a barometric pressure trend arrow, but the newer one has the actual pressure reading and the trend arrow.

They are a few seconds apart.

The Weather Channel, Fox New Channel and other television/cable networks. There are a few shows on some channels that don't start at the exact time for some annoying reason. :)


Oops I had said Denver...thank you for the correction, Tom. :)

I kind of get a kick out of anyone who sets their clocks wrong on purpose so that they will never be late. My wife does that too on her alarm clock. Me?..... if I did that, I would make corrections in my head and it wouldn't matter. Just like always having $100 extra in a checking account that doesn't get figured into the register. I always know that it is there and use it. (Don't do this anymore, by the way)

Anyway, my time is always the right time to me, even if it is wrong to everyone else...lol

I am contemplating an Atomic clock, but as of now every clock in our house is set different. :lol:

Since my wife and I are always running late, we tend to set most of the clocks/watches a few minutes fast. Our alarm clock in the bedroom is actually set 10 minutes fast. Of course, we can't set the time on our cable boxes, so they are pretty much the "exact time" - whatever the "exact time" is.

I think it is a good idea to set your clocks a number of minutes fast so that you don't run late for things. However, if I had things that I had to do at a certain time I would most likely have my time set to the "real time."

John, the "real time," as has been mentioned in this thread is the "atomic clock" in Boulder, Colorado. :D

You're welcome, Eric. I was honestly using bold and underlined text on Boulder, Colorado because most were responding with "just Colorado." :)

All of my clocks and my watch are set about 3 mins fast.

Every clock and watch in my house, and in the car, are set to the same time, up to the second...I base the time on my "atomic watch".
