2017 Christmas in Columbia - Ten minutes till chimes for the evening



2017-12-29 - From Adair Judicial Center, 201 Campbellsville Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener.

How old do you have to be to understand that the time "ten till chime," for this photo on December 16, 2017, could possibly be 4:50pmCT, or 16:50hrs. Wonder if any kids know what time it is when older residents tell them the time is "ten of," or "ten till." or "twenty after." Not many I'm sure. If it were a more rational world, we'd be on military, law enforcement, first responder time, VFW Post 6097 time. 2018 would be a great year to start it, don't you think? And somewhere, numbers are already crunched tell us how many lives would be saved, how much money would be saved and how, at least marginally, the world would be a greener place. Most of all, if military time were used consistently, it would make life easier for CM Events entries. Assuredly, however, the planet will never be rational enough to follow Commander Joe Hare's lead on this. - EW/LW
