This is about 14 inches in diameter and is an old heavy metal sundial. I never understood how these things work. It was outside for years but where the shadow was, which is how you’re supposed to be able to tell what time it is, was never accurate. I got sick of getting my ankles mangled by the pointy piece of metal that so inaccurately told time so this too has been retired to the old folks home in my storage garage.
Well, thank you for admitting that Allee, I am the same way. That’s why Navigating around LA was always a problem for me. But on my last trip, riding around with Dina helped me to brave the freeways again and NOT get lost. That’s why I could never take a job that had me driving around the city.

I guess that’s because this clock has a mind of it’s own as it only counts sunny hours. :)
