March 7 Memories

There is really nothing significant about March 7 that makes me remember it tonight, but at loss for a post idea I thought I would see what I blogged about on each March 7 since I started Braman’s Wanderings.

Campirana Pizza - Chorizo, Frijoles, Jalapeños y Cebolla - Pi Day - 3.14159 - Pizza PieSix years ago I was in Mexico City and wrote a post titled Artistic Thursday. It contained some artistic pictures of food, as well as an interesting mural.

Silver Pavilion - Ginkakuji - Kyoto, Japan - World Heritage SiteFive years ago I was having some Japan Memories as I was getting ready for a trip there.

This picture of the Silver Pavilion in Kyoto was one of five pictures in the post.

Shangai Customs House - Bund - Daylight Saving Time - Shanghai, ChinaFour years ago I wrote a post Saving or Savings? which was about whether it is Daylight Saving Time or Daylight Savings Time? Do you know which one is the official designation?

The picture above is from Shanghai. It is one of several clock pictures in the post.

You can find out the answer to the question by visiting the post.

Los Colinas Mustangs, Irving, Texas, Memories, SculpturesThree years ago I was on my way home from a trip to Dallas, Texas. My post was titled Rainy Day Memories. I was having some great memories of when I lived in the Dallas area during college.

Kansas Grass Fires, Southwest KansasTwo years ago I posted about Burning Kansas. I had just flown home from my sister’s wedding in Missouri and had just learned about the devastating fires that had engulfed the county where I grew up in Kansas.

Toronto Skyline, York Mills, Westin Prince, Tim HortonsLast year I was in Toronto and posted about a Wednesday in Toronto. I don’t have the best memories of coming home from this trip as I picked up a stomach virus, but do have some wonderful memories spending time with my dear friends the next day.

So, I guess I do have some significant March 7 memories.

Thinking of Time

Tonight I am thinking of the upcoming weekend and the time change, so my mind has wandered to clocks, watches and other indications of time.

Big Ben - Elizabeth Tower - Clock Tower - Most Photographed Clock - London, England - Iconic ClockClocks of course help us keep time and sometimes they are highly visible like this one. I am sure many of you know where this one is as it is one of the most photographed clocks in the world.

Calendars.com, 2019 calendars, New YearOf course calendars also help us keep track of time, but at a slower pace.

Tiglath Pileser III - British Museum - Pul - First watch?Of course, sometimes we carry a timepiece with us by wearing a watch. Oh wait, this is not a watch, but it sure looks like one. See: Assyrian Watch

Sundial Surface, Topkapi Sarayi Museum, Istanbul, Turkey, Time ChangeAnother way of telling time is with a sundial. Are you glad that you don’t have to worry about Syncing your Sundial to the time change?

The Time Thief, The Gideon Trilogy, Linda Buckley-ArcherI am also thinking about a series of books that I read called The Gideon Trilogy.

The second book, The Time Thief, makes me think of Sunday when an hour will be slolen from us.

Next week will be interesting as I adjust to the time difference between those countries who do not change at the same time as we do. I am thinking of an upcoming conference call and wonder if it the time change was taken into account in the scheduling. I will have to remember to check.
