thats 10:10PM if ones unfamiliar with military time it shouldnt be
deemed military credit where credit is
due between 147 and 127 BCE before the common era
Hipparchus of Nicaea proposed dividing day into 24 equinoctial hours 12 hours of daylight 12 hours of
darkness same cat founded
trigonometry
the Canadian military came around
to Hipparchus way of thinking in ’27 the
United States threw in in ’42 CREDIT WHERE CREDITS DUE
when one thinks of time inevitably
they think of life think of death too
he was mindful
he didnt spend
an inordinate amount of time thinking of one or the other however recently death in particular had robbed him more times than hed care to admit and those deathstheir
deaths have hobbled him
yet he chooses to remember them
everydaygreet them every morning always to
remember something upbeatremember exploits he was party to a goodly some only they shared their secrets
now only his
death would be a curious experience
he didnt remember his curious experience into
lifeHA
he wouldnt remember
his exit but it would be on his terms if
he could help it
he intended to die the animal he was
living in California he could tolerate the weather year in an out
without heat without airconditioning it wasnt
a matter of paying the bills it
was a matter of living closer to the animal he was the animal men and women had
been longer than beating the cold with a fire or bearing up to hot weather with
ice
modern Americans were less than
they had been
creatures of comfort
he was a
creature of discomfort
I am going to die the animal I am
would he have the grit to see it through
12 hours of daylight 12 hours of
darkness
