Ate one

Eight won. But it's still a Monday, now a new month and the battles rage on.

I had some 'free time' the other day and was pondering and reflecting while allowing my imagination to just run wild and go nuts. I got mired with and around time. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT AND IF THIS IS GOING ANYWHERE, GO … POR FAVOR. That is ALWAYS the Plan. (b*tch) We have different units of measuring everything and anything on this planet and in this world. Speed, air, land & sea km, miles as in per hour, knots. Temperature has a number of scales most familiar are the F and C respectively but there are more. Kelvin for one. Wait, WEIGHT you have grams, ounces, kilos, pounds, ton and tonmle. How much is a 'stone'? Are you starting to see where I'm going your blindship? But the one thing that defies this rule is time. So I started playing with it. Thinking time on a circular clock face, there would be four (4) quadrants. For simplicity sake day 3 (three) hours each. Thinking two (2) revolutions per day, and military time which fewer people are familiar with, one has now EIGHT(8) quadrants of three (3) OR 24 'slices' commonly referred to as hours. YAWN. I'M OFFICIALLY LOST. Big, huge, large and good on you being honest. Sometimes I do find you in a class by yourself. Truly. I pressed on by assigning values. Which quadrant is best for mental acuity? I assigned 9-12. From 6-9 most helpful and important tasking is the rousting from sleep, rest or dark time and preparing to gather and hunt or earn a living depending where one is at on the evolutionary index. I became fascinated by this entire cyclical process and decided to explore further. The deadest zone in the eight-phase cycle would be 0300 - 0600. Followed by or PRECEEDED BY 0000 to 0300 depending how bad one wishes to argue or debate. At 1200 slowly things begin to decelerate and continue on at the rotation of the earth or tectonic plates. By around 1500, most organisms have stopped decelerating and the prime focus is taking on fuel aka food. From 1800 to 2400 anything goes. Pretty much. This is two (2) complete quads and frequency and amplitude each peek probably at or close to 1800 and again decelerate at wide and highly variable rate(s) as people get drunk, do recreational drugs of choice, read, social media, watch TV and so forth with most dropping off to sleep as 2400 nears. Honestly there is a category that can and does go beyond the 0000 mark and often. These are known as night owls however few are left standing when 0300 rolls around. Such are my thoughts this day on time the concept and cycle applications. Time management is for another lesson likewise the proper wasting of time. Today's image is Derby winner Barbaro. At one time I was all hopped up pondering and reflecting on reincarnation and how wonderful it would be to come back as a Derby winner and be placed in a pasture with a bunch of phillies? While running THOSE numbers and pleasures, it dawned on me. One false move, break a leg … then what? I changed that request. Then there are the giant Galapagos tortoises. I recall their life span is like 150 years AND they are ACTIVE until about 149. Slow and steady for a long time and a very high quality life made much more sense. Clearly. Next time, how I killed a rabbit in the back yard with a rock I tossed. Payback for mooching in my jardin. She won't do THAT again.
