vogue, I, too, have always been intrigued with the subject of time and time
change between continents...some of us are living in the future and others in the past, depending on who's keeping score of time.

Vogue
Whatever my scientifically informed views on Time (by no means solidified into a definite position), for me the most persuasive an compelling view of the 'human' relationship to time has been expressed by Andrew Marvell in "To his Coy Mistress':
Had we but world enough and time
This coyness, lady, were no crime...
And it goes on...
But at my back I always hear
Time's winged chariot hurrying near;
And yonder all before us lie
Deserts of vast eternity.
It's one of my favourite poems of all time...

vogue, it seems relevant to something when it passes faster than one can keep up with. Kayzzaman just asked, "How Old Is Time?" I ask, "Where did it go?" Most of my grandchildren are now adults. The sands in my hourglass have been turned and re-used too many times to count.
