11/08/10 HUBRIS

DOES THE SUN KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS?
...ROXY DOES; IT'S TIME TO PLAY

Monday, 8:00 AM. 42 degrees, up from 36 degrees an hour earlier. Wind WSW, calm. There are a few high thin clouds and the barometer predicts the same. We are having a run of fine days.
Waking up with the rising sun gets us out and about in reasonable light again, now that Daylight Saving Time is over. Roxy and the other neighborhood dogs of course pay no attention to our clocks, but sensibly, their internal clocks are ruled by the sun. Only man has the hubris to try to control day and night.
