OVERTIME RULES: ASK T-REX ALL ABOUT IT

Overtime rules are simple: Come at me bro.

It’s the same with normal time: Let’s go T.

That’s T for T-Rex.

The difference is that time is up for that big-headed beast.

How about you? Are you feeling the same? Is your time up, too?

Keep reading for hints it’s not.

One hint, maybe the main one, is the difference between 65 years old, and 65 million years old.

If you have trouble calculating dog-years, 65 million years is impossible to fathom.

Still, it’s good to look into the endless depth of years spinning faster and faster.

Take a good look in there.

It’s a reflection of where we’ve been on earth, but there’s one thing missing:

You, me, and everyone who’s ever lived in the blink of an eye that is our true time here.

Does it make your head spin like it does mine?

Even if it does, why not look with eyes wide open?

 

What I See

“Stick your head in there,” used to be the football rule on the defensive side of the ball.

After enough brain trauma it’s no longer the rule, but how else do you get a good look at the eternity of life before man?

One way is a visit to OMSI on the east side of the Willamette River running through Portland, Oregon.

Stick your head in there.

In the early 70’s, good science students from North Bend High School were rewarded with a field trip to the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry. (Hey Susan)

It was a big deal, though not my big deal. My field trips included football fields and wrestling mats.

Now I’m ready to wrestle a dinosaur? Tackle a T-Rex? Sure I am. You, too.

When is the last time you went with a group on any museum outing?

If you’re thinking a three generation day that lasts eleven hours is too much, then you’re not paying attention to the overtime rules.

Ignorance of time, like ignorance of the law, is no excuse, especially if you live less than half an hour away from OMSI and one in the group is a T-Rex.

Make your plans while the clock is still ticking.

 

Stick Your Head In Where?

Is there a writer in the world, any blogger, who sees something like this array of heads and thinks, ‘What’s the big deal?’

Do you know people who have alternate opinions of time, and what life used to be like, and dinosaurs don’t factor in?

Sounds fun.

Lose those losers because if they can’t comprehend 65 million years, what does 4.6 billion years mean to them?

 

For that they are called ‘scientists.’

What’s a good name for science-deniers?

 

One Certain Thing About Overtime Rules

When things are done, they are done.

The ship has sailed, the airplane is off, and it’s not coming back.

In the long run, ours is a short time compared to T-Rex and his ilk.

While you hang around, why not get a feel for the time here.

Use time. It uses you. Check the mirror for any doubts.

Take look around and ask yourself, ‘Are these the best of times? Or the worst of times?’

If you have an answer you disagree with, then what?

I’m not the one to say what you need to do, but don’t we all know how fleeting time is?

Eventually we all fly away, but memories remain.

You remember, I remember, but then memories gets a little fuzzy.

If you’re up to it, why not start improving your brain for those who remain?

Be a mentor, a role model, a guide. Pick one and see if it fits.

Then pick someone.

(Hint: wife, husband, kids, and grandkids?)

You’re going to save the world from doom and destruction? Probably not.

So, focus on making it little better right where you are. Right now. Just a little better.

You can do that before you fly away.

If you don’t, you may fly away with help from this inspiring character.
