For Clocks, Telling Time Isn't Enough




        The latest Hammacher Schlemmer catalog has arrived.  It's the "Mid-Spring Supplement 2020."  Not enough to come out four times a year, plus a holiday issue.  Now "Mid-Spring" is upon us. 

     

     
        The cover tells why, I suppose:  "The Virus Eliminating Filterless Air Purifier."
        I say,  Caveat Emptor.

                                                                                                                                                                                                            But  my real favorite in this issue is "The Easy Read Full Disclosure Clock."  I never thought of a clock as hiding something I needed to know.



        Plus,  in case you weren't sure it was light or dark out, you get MORNING and A.M. BOTH.    Maybe full disclosure includes the meaning "redundant."  But including the month, date, and YEAR may reveal the true intended buyers:

        This is one of the first questions a gerontologist will ask you.
