Somebody is messing with weights and measures. I was working in my garden today, putting in some compost. The bags state they weight 40 pounds. That can’t be true. I distinctly remember when I was 21 years old loading trucks with 40 and 50 pound products. They weren’t heavy. The bags I lugged around today are heavy.
And, time measurement has changed. For over fifty years I slept about six hours per day. I always had a job that required getting up early. Didn’t bother me. But now, I notice that I sleep eight or even nine hours. It does appear that someone has taken some minutes out of an hour. Simple logic tells me that if it takes more hours, then there are fewer minutes in an hour.
It must be a conspiracy to fool grumpy old men. What else could it be?
