After wearing various aviation-styled watches over the years - mostly
moderately priced ones - I stopped wearing a watch all together.


You're not alone. When I quit wearing a watch I was never in doubt
about what time it was, or is, or used to be. Just look around. I
even get peeved when I see a wall clock that is not changed to
daylight or standard time. The jillion clocks at home, thanks to
Christmas past, in the car, on the cell phone, or wherever. It's
real easy to tell what time it is!

Flying. Well, I've got the clock(s) at the airport. FSS will tell
you the time to go, the stop watches will tell you how much fuel you
probably use(d). The GPS has phenominal time keeping. Within
nanoseconds. And, of course, the manual wind-up clock that our
friendly folks around (FAA) tell us must have has worked perfectectly
sincel last week. Just push one button on the GPS, NDB receiver,
pilot's yoke, passenger watch, or ... if you really want to know what
time it is, call 544-TIME.

Oh well, I've just driven a tractor in 120 F heat in Alabama. By the
angle of the Sun, and the number of dogs under the porch, I guess its
time to go back out one more time.

Hurricanes are coming. Don't ask me what time.
