There is now a new time reference. You heard it here first. It will be common to say things like, "in the days P.C., we would do such and such." Or perhaps "It's not been done A.C. like it was done P.C." The new terms of course refer to Pre-Covid, and After-Covid. This will be the norm. You read it here first!
Why this is important, the last date reference was based on a death, and an un substantiated resurrection. Now too will the death and resurrection be the standard. Its just as well, I am tired of so many numbers in the dates. Oh yeah there will be a few issues like all the spaces on cheques and computer forms for the date.
On the up side, I can use a bit of 001 in my life. We will all be number 1. Might even drop the whole Gregorian month thing and just use the number of the day of the year. Easy peasy. We are used to it now as we are all counting days of confinement. Just carry on down the number.
So here 26 A.C. I scribble my musings mostly mistakenly on my Motherboard. Posing postulations post haste. Today to sanitize or sort old photos. Both boring, both time consuming, both satisfying. As Time Banking has not yet caught on, (see the post on this blog), this may in fact be a time to pick up that gavel and bash on the international time system. Atomic clocks be damned.
Have any of you visited on of the three sites on the orb that distribute the international time signal? I have. The array of antennae is immense, each site has three atomic clocks that transmit the “exact” time. Set up to operate in perpetuity. Generators, back-ups of back-ups. We could toss this whole system A.C..
Even though the irritating world dominance of OLD time systems. We are at a possible cusp of change. No bicuspid for me.
Cherish that grind Crisinda, I like it dark and swirling.
