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. Mike Weller |
