Great find, and gives me an idea for a variation to solve one of my semi-annual problems. I have a wall clock which has a small metal loop that hangs on a nail. Every daylight savings change, I have to take it off the wall to change the time, then it's very frustrating to get it back on the nail. So cut a strip of plastic clamshell packaging about a long as a fork and narrow enough to fit through the loop. Cut a slot in one end to fit over the nail, and voila! I'm really looking forward to Spring Forward now ;-)
