No...seriously. I really have no idea. Every clock in my house displays something different.

I'm going to go off topic here. Sorry, but the site is called timfluhr.org so I feel as though a concession or two can be made for me.

A couple of things...

I think relativity is an important concept. I can't speak for anyone other than myself, well not in good faith, and also probably not without misrepresenting whoever I'm speaking for, but in my experiences things are gauged by what I immediately know and understand. It is nearly impossible for me to understand, in any way that would allow me to make realistic judgments or statements, what it would be like to have five million of my own dollars. Likewise I don't think it would be fair for me to draw conclusions about what life would be like as a person who has no home to go to at night. Both of these things are outside my realm of experience and understanding.

Having said all of that without making a point of any kind I feel as though I should maybe get to some substance. After all, Tamara, my parents, and maybe 2 or 3 other people are reading this and deserve to feel as though they did not *entirely* waste five minutes of a too short life by reading all the way to the end of this post.

So here goes nothing...

When I was younger and starting to form strong opinions about the world I used to think in ways that are very different from the way I think now. I remember a time in my life when I thought cities, big cities, like Milwaukee and Chicago were crime ridden and rotten to the core. I thought they were filled with poor, lazy, people who were too busy having out of wedlock children, smoking crack, and shooting at each other to get jobs and contribute something to a society that has made every fucking effort to help make their lives better.
