Why is it hard to find a digital watch that keeps more than two times? Circuits are super cheap. The most I ever saw was a watch that kept two, a main display and another for world times. All I want is one that keeps local solar, local consensus, UTC, and maybe local sidereal if we're adding gratuitous features.
This week, the texture of asphalt before it has fully hardened surprised me. At first, I expected a stickiness like mud, or the ghosts of drowned dinosaurs. Instead, it had a little spongy give, and made a sound like oily ooze was adhering to my shoes. But they left tar free tracks, and nothing stained their soles. Better things for better living, through chemistry, I guess.
