We should set our clocks two hours ahead, and Leave them there Permantly. cuhulin Reminds me of someone I used to work with . This Cat used to CHANGE the time in the punch clock by removing the glass and moving the hands as much as he felt like ! He was the morning shift , I was the afternoon. . . Didn't take too long for the owner to find something fishy with all those 'extra' hours worked by the morning fellow . So he welded thick metal wire OVER the glass and that kind of solved this problem . So this CAT immediately came up with something new , don't remember exactly what he did . This was many moons ago . |

With best wishes, Kevin Alfred Strom. --http://nationalvanguard.org/http://kevinalfredstrom.com/ Well, it is south of Verona and Milan. *Not to be contrary, but on average, Minnesota is a bit north of Italia. *More on par with France...but I nitpick. People think of north as cold and south as warm. *That's why Minnesota and Maine are "north", the Riveria and Italy are "south" - but there's a lot more to climate than latitude. *Direct sea influence (water temps and current heat transfer), indirect sea influence (continentality), elevation and humidity all play a role. *Minnesota has a very high degree of continentality whereas Italy has almost none, being right on the sunny Mediterranean. Kilimanjaro, Mauna Loa and Aconcagua, in the midst of the world's warmer climes, get snow year round. *Such a puzzle! :-)- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Kilimanjaro is rapidly losing it's ice/snow .

Sure, but if someone wanted to live such a bucolic existent getting away from it all and living off the land to the rhythms of nature why would they care about the time enough to bother with a clock?
