Up too early

 During the night I'm awakened by a noise.  It's continuous and sounds a little like water glugging out of a bottle - but faster.  I get out the flashlight and look around finally realizing that it's this thing:

Better Homes and Gardens Atomic Clock from Wal-mart

The hands are quick stepping causing the glug noise.  Was Daylight Savings Time called off and I didn't get the memo ?   All I know is that weird unexpected sounds can wake me up if they are long enough.

I also noticed this picture from yesterday:

It's a deserted intersection in Sanya, Hainan Province of China.  No people or cars due to a Covid-19 lockdown.  But the crosswalks reminded me of the pads for a Quad Flat Pack IC on an unpopulated circuit board:
