EXTRA POINT
I think I have it figured out what time it is. I'll be headed outside shortly to see what the clock in the car we bought this summer says. I'm going to guess the time is correct because the car has some kind of limited wireless capability, even though I chose not to pay for it to be its own mobile hotspot. If the time isn't correct it could be an adventure changing it.
Have I told you how much I like my $25 analog watch? Pull out the crown (that's the round thing on the side with the ridges, kids), spin it to move the hands on the watch one hour, and pop the crown back in. Done.
