MECHANICAL CLOCKS


ImageUntil the 14th century, most people divided the period of daylight into 12 equal parts and the period of darkness into 12 equal parts, regardless of how long each period was. Mechanical clocks changed the way time was measured. After they came into use, each 24 hour period was divided into equal measures of time.

The Salisbury Clock doesn't look like an ordinary clock. It doesn't have a dial. Its purpose was to ring a bell on the hour every hour so people would know what time was. In the 14th century people listened  to clocks; they didn't look at them. In 1884, the Salisbury Clock was replaced by a more modern clock and the original clock was stored away and forgotten until 1928, when it was rediscovered and put on display.

Follow the Frog

Official Ram Trucks Super Bowl Commercial "Farmer"




And on the eighth day, God looked down on his planned paradise and said, "I need a caretaker." So God made a farmer. God said, "I need somebody willing to get up before dawn, milk cows, work all day in the field, milk cows again, eat supper, then go to town and stay past midnight at a meeting of the school board." So God made a farmer. God said, "I need somebody willing to sit up all night with a newborn colt and watch it die, then dry his eyes and say,'Maybe next year,' I need somebody who can shape an ax handle from an ash tree, shoe a horse with hunk of car tire, who can make a harness out hay wire, feed sacks and shoe scraps. Who, during planting time and harvest season will finish his 40-hour week by Tuesday noon and then, paining from tractor back, put in another 72 hours." So God made the farmer. God said, "I need somebody strong enough to clear trees and heave bales, yet gentle enough to yean lambs and wean pigs and tend the pink-comb pullets, who will stop his mower for an hour to splint the leg of a meadowlark." It had to be somebody who'd plow deep and straight and not cut corners. Somebody to seed, weed, feed, breed, and brake, and disk, and plow, and plant, and tie the fleece and strain the milk, . Somebody who'd bale a family together with the soft, strong bonds of sharing, who would laugh, and then sigh and then reply with smiling eyes when his son says that he wants to spend his life doing what Dad does. "So God made a farmer."

He's amazing.  He is indeed. "very much so"  (confirmation)

We paid $5 per gallon.  Indeed, we paid too much!

We paid $5 per gallon. In fact, we paid too much.
