Every clock I own seems to be on a different time. This morning I was driving to work wondering how late I'm going to be and I hear the morning DJs stating one time while my clock in my car has another time and my wristwatch has yet another time. For once, I want to know the actual time!
I'm sitting at my desk still thinking about this. I'm sure there is a myriad of ways to figure out the correct time. What did I choose? I called 814-452-6311!
That was the number for the time and temperature in my home town of Erie Pennsylvania!
As a kid, I think we called that number daily. It was just something we did. That way, you knew how to dress for school, or how many layers to put on to go out to play. I know, I could have just looked outside and if I saw snow I'd know to put a coat on. But this was just part of the routine of getting ready when I lived in Erie.
It was always the same lady's voice, stating time the current temperature in Erie in that nice broken robot voice of hers. But it was familiar like an old friend, I had heard her so often.
I haven't called that number at least since I left Erie 12 years ago. And I STILL remember that number! And it STILL works!
The free service is now corporate sponsored but I guess that is to be expected in this day and age. But, the important thing is - The time is 11:28 a.m. and current temperature is 30 degrees.
I got the warm fuzzies over here over that! Good times.

Speaking of time, but not in an hourly fashion. I hear a count down clock ticking for a special even happening on Wednesday Jan 16. Does anyone I know know what day that is?
