Times are all so arbitrary....An enjoyable read Jon. Times are all so arbitrary. You’d think we’d realise that by now. To add a brief anecdote:<br /><br />We once had a young(ish) Canadian relative stay with us for a while. Like others from Nth America she had great difficulty coming to grips with the fact that our Australian seasons began and ended in line with the calendar month and not the equinox or solstice. I tried to explain but she was not open to the information saying, “But this is science” in defence of her claims. <br /><br />I was exasperated at this point and had to inform her that the seasons, indeed time measurement itself, is a human construct and was not passed down from on high. After this I had very little regard for the Canadian education system, though to be fair it was a reflection of her personality type than the schools she attended. <br /><br />It was nice to come across your post on this topic on TC. ;-)Anita Spinksnoreply@blogger.com
