Thanks for the information on your storage, Geof. I haven't tried the Saran Wrap method because I've yet to be able to locate the eyes so I save clumps, which takes up a lot of space! I've traded tubers with two people at "the other place".
Growing in clay soil is a challenge I haven't yet had and don't want. A local friend did grow hers in clay but would dig deep, wide holes, add good soil, then plant and she had success. Some can be grown in pots though that never worked well for me.
White dahlias, or dahlias with white tips (like Duet), are more prone to earwig problems. I didn't know it also happened to those light in color but have had no problems this year. I have used Ortho's Bug Geta Plus to kill earwigs and slugs but only remembered to use it once early in the season.

I have a lot of dark orange, reds with orange, red and white, lavender, pinks, wine, peach and they don't get bothered by the earwigs.
