    One of the few things I miss about being in the deep south was I always knew the top of the hour. Sure therw was an additional annoying song played at noon that was under a minute, but the benefit of knowing the hour no matter where I was was great

        You’ve never worked outside without being able to keep a watch I’d wager. Knowing the time without needing to pay money is one of the few good things churches have offered.

          I don’t think I know any job where you have to be outside without any access to a watch, phone, radio, whatever.
