I’m not sure exactly how many times yesterday I had an idea about a post or reminded myself, despite being really busy, to go find some pictures to share — or something. Must have been at least a dozen, probably more. Somewhere along the way “I have to remember to do that” became “Oh, I must have done that.”
I guess that’s why they use checklists.
Then at 05:30 this morning, for no apparent reason, I’m suddenly wide awake thinking, “Did you ever actually put anything up on the site last night?” Well, um…
But I’m “saved” by the fact that it gets earlier as you go west, right? If it’s 8:00 here, it’s 11:00 in New York, but only 5:00 in Hawaii, only 2:00 in Sydney, and only 11:00 in Beijing. So if I’m in Beijing, it’s still yesterday, right?
The math is simple, you can double check it by working backwards, just like they taught us in fourth grade. In Beijing it’s 11:00 PM, or “2300 local” if you speak military. So in Sydney it’s “2600 local,” in Hawaii it’s “2900 local,” and here it’s “3200 local.”
Yeah, that adds up, especially if you don’t think about it too much.
Instead of thinking, have a couple of cat pictures from when I got my first DSLR at Christmas of 2005. I had bought the camera less than a week earlier and was still playing with buttons and learning what setting did what. Joey-from-almost-eight-and-a-half-years-ago made a good test subject. This bay window (recently installed at that time) was already her favorite place — still is.
