Last night when the time changed I woke up at 1:45. Since I had to get up I thought I’m going to figure out once and for all how this time change works. I waited for 1:59 and I expected the next number would go back to 1:00. Apparently there is an hour that goes double.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I watched the next number was 2:00 and then it kept going, 2:01, 2:02, 2:03…and now I was really stumped. So I still don’t know how the time change works. If I would commit a crime at 1:59, how would they know if it’s the first go-around or the second. What if I commit two crimes each at 1: 59?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The crazy part was that I had a wrist watch on and it would have shed a bit of light on what was happening.  Through the time change I lost an hour of my life. There was a period of time when Indiana didn’t change time. I was visiting my son in Illinois in the spring and we set our clocks ahead. When we got back to Indiana we had to set them back and I lost an hour of my life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I told you that when I was a lad I used to bale hay with a New Holland model 76 baler. I never could figure out how it could tie a knot in binder twine. I would have someone feed hay into it and I would watch it put a knot in each string at the same time. I still didn’t understand how it could tie a knot. Thinking about that I don’t understand how a sewing machine can make a stitch. If I put a needle through cloth it would come out the same spot and not catch anything on the other side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My problems were escalated when my friend bought a beautiful antique car which looked to me to be candy apple red. He told me the color was burgundy. Well I have no idea what color burgundy is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mrs. Google shows me nine shades of burgundy. A gal even had a gown which was two tone burgundy. Now I’m really confused. Mrs. Google says it’s near the color wine. Wine is a medium dark, medium bright, shade of pinkish red. My mind thinks along mathematical lines, and sometimes they can be theoretical. Colors must be infinite, after all there are fifty shades of gray. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In mathematics we talk about counting numbers being infinite, and lines are also infinite. Colors must be infinite because you could always add a drop of white and get a different shade. Could it be there are an infinite number of things that are infinite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m really confused here If you think this is confusing next time we meet we will try to discuss latitude and longitude. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The car pictures is a ’64 1\/2 Mustang that was purchased at Schwartz Auto in Grabill and is still in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
