November 20th, 2010



Jackie asked, “Why is it called a Magic Marker?” An astute question for which I have no answer and continue-on striking another “X“ on the calendar with the black, felt-tipped marker. Each “X” means another day closer to threading our way south via the back roads of rural America.

The calendar is an orderly method of keeping track of time, a far cry from the Native Americans, which a month, know as a particular moon was sufficient. Today, we have sliced thin the measuring of time down to “Planck’s time” which is 3.3 x 10 to the 44th sec. Nope, I don’t understand it either, something to do with the speed of light, so I do my calculating with a # 2 pencil and nanoseconds.
