I can't remember what caused me to wonder about the earth's rotation but I did and spent several minutes looking for an answer. Finally found one....I guess.

Answer: The apparent motion of the Sun. If the Sun SEEMS to move around the Earth counterclockwise, but actually the Earth is the one moving around the Sun, is the Earth's motion clockwise or counterclockwise? You need a sheet of paper to solve this problem, which is also problem #1 among the ones listed in "Stargazers." But I won't keep you in suspense: it is ALSO a counterclockwise motion.

After the answer another question popped up but I pricked it and sizzled it down to hardly a wonder. "If we had never had clocks, what words would we use to describe the direction of the earths rotation?" Yeah right, who cares.

Yep, another typical daily catch for me. I think it is about the 310th time this year that I've sat down here at the computer and was caught with nothing worthy to type about. I can't remember ever typing a worthy note but just assumed that I may have flittered my three typing fingers across the key board and lucked out with something worthy to someone at least three times during the year. Some may be able to call me on that but what the hey, right or wrong that's my song. Yeah right, another who cares.
