About Bleeker: The Rechargeable Dog
Ah, the joys of a boy and his dog. His robotic dog...Yes, Skip Smalls’ dream of a canine sidekick came true when Bleeker beeped into his life -- batteries included. For this delightful duo it’s not just about tug of war and the gnawing of bones. Bleeker can fetch, but he can also fax -- and print, place calls, detect smoke, photograph, download email, take a GPS reading, and handle Skip’s homework planner. He’s not bug-free: if he spends too much time with Grandpa, he starts hooking rugs and wearing slippers. And if you stuff Mars bars in his battery socket -- well, there are problems. Nonetheless Bleeker (BLKR501 to IM pals) is all the dog a boy, or a comic strip, could want.

I’m still trying to remember how to move the analog hands on my combo watch! And my car radio? Please?

This one falls flat on two counts. First of all, there would have been a Sunday to get adjusted. Secondly, if he failed to adjust to the time change, the bus would be there an hour later than they expected, not earlier.

You thought wrong, Skip. Again.

I was thinking the same thing as Ed regarding the fact that he would have an EXTRA hour to be ready.

Yep, fail on the early/late change. But Sunday adjustment? I once went to Monday classes at college an hour early because I hadn’t changed my clock. However, My roommate had, so I managed to make it to church on time on Sunday! So that part doesn’t seem unreasonable to me - if you don’t have to be anywhere at a specific time on sunday, you might not adjust your clock.
