The Goods (What's in stores today)

       Time warp: As you know, time waits for no one. Especially this weekend, when the clocks fall back an hour. Celebrate that extra hour of sleep by buying yourself a new clock. Maybe one that looks like the Eiffel Tower, says manufacturer Seth Thomas. It sells for about $40 at stores all over the place. Check them out (and order if you wanna) at www.seththomas.com.
