I have always had a fascination with time — the 1960s TV show “The Time Tunnel” — the huge grandfather’s clock that my wise old grandmother got for Christmas in 1966 — my first watch, one of those red LED digital watches. Instead of going to sleep, I used to hide under the covers watching the seconds change.
I don’t wear a watch anymore because my cell phone has a clock. Never dreamed in 1966 that a phone would tell me the time………well, other than calling 555-1212 to get the time……….can’t believe I still remember that number……….
There were clocks galore at The Getty Center, which sent my clock fascination into overdrive. Kind of driving this. Okay back to clocks, although I’m pretty sure that car has a clock in it……….lol

I really like clocks. I also use my cell phone for the time but I hope clocks don’t totally disappear.
$6.75 bin kitteh.
If I could choose one of them to take home I would be flummoxed! I always wanted to use the word “flummoxed!”
We could be flummoxed together!
I love number nine, the mantel clock ca 1789.
