    Birds care about what time it is. They pay attention to patterns of nature throughout the day to optimize their work efficiency. Failure.

    Some retirees attend events. But those who can’t deal with clocks can easily be forgotten; their kids aren’t going to wait around.

    I don’t bother with hours… I just count the months it’s called boredom.

    What’s really interesting is how few people do wear watches, relying instead upon the clocks in their cell phones.

    Since I retired I need a watch to make sure I get to the golf course for my tee time and a calendar to get to the doctor’s on the right day.

    Without time, speed could not be calculated, so if the clocks are done away with, cops can’t write speeding tickets.

    I also have not worn a watch, or carried a cell phone with a clock, since I retired in 1998. Have not missed it for a minute either. My wrist watch sits, rusting in a drawer someplace, I haven’t a clue where. Bernie and Phil have it exactly right. The only thing is, time seems to have speeded up, weeks and months go by so quickly that I can not keep track. I remember back when I was about 10, days, weeks, and months seemed to last forever, now, I look at todays paper and see tha it is already the 19th of May. Amazing how fast a week goes by, there are never enough hours in the day

    I’m in my seventies and bought a wall clock that only shows what day it is. Seems like everyday is like another.
