few months ago

another of the lighthouseI would have taken a picture of the flag
to show how hard the wind was blowing
but mine hand was so cold it was hurting
as I too my glove off for each pic...
how are things where you're at??





time

Have you ever given any thought to time? Sometimes time goes by fast and at other times it's slow, so slow, to slow, is it ever going to end slow.
And, we're all running out of time... living on borrowed time.

Oh how nice, Kansas's dust in the wind is on the radio....

What is the difference between just in time and on time?
I work a 12 hour swing shift that starts a 7 and ends at 7, 7am 7pm, 7pm 7am, no matter 7 to 7.
We get a break every 2 hours for a half an hour, 30 min's. 9, 11, 1, 3, 5 but it's every 1.5 hours that our break comes, no? I return at 9:30, 11:30, 1:30, 3:30, and 5:30...
Also, it seems like it's forever for the break to get here and it's over like that... 1/2 hour that was fast.
That say time runs on a time line, mine is like a cork screw...
And gravity seems to have a pull on my time. The hour hand is at 12 high and it quickly goes to half past and then it seems to take forever to get back to the top of the hour, gravity is pulling it down.
My days are like that as well... they start off at 6am, when the alarm goes off and quickly run down to 6pm and then begrudgingly back up to 6am. Which would explain why the night shift is so slow, gravity... but then again how does one explain how time flies by when one sleeps??
The year is the same, with Jan at the top with the months passing gently downward and bottoming out the end of june into july and turning slowly upward late august working up to a new year and so on. I guess the years stack up behind me like miles driving down a highway.
In the end, time and life is like the last firework on the night, a bright streak of light going straight up into the night sky only to go out in a flash and then darkness....
There you have it, time in a nut shell or from a nut...
and it's time to finish this off...
see ya
