[time-nuts] time-nuts Digest, Vol 79, Issue 69

[Burt I. Weiner]

I wear a wrist watch with an hour hand, a minute hand, and a seconds 
hand.  When i wore a digital watch it seldom registered with me as to 
what time it really was.  Oh yes, I knew that it was, say, 3:15 PM, 
but it didn't mean the same as looking at my old fashioned watch and 
seeing the little hand a little below the three and the big hand on 
the three and the second hand somewhere else.  I would also say to my 
self, I've got this much of a turn (of the big hand) to get 
somewhere.  I didn't have to do the math.  Life was simpler.
