      Yep .. Ed ..               EV> I've listened to Time and Standards Radio Stations so often in my life,        EV> \ that I can mark the time real accurately in my head without having a        EV> radio tuned to 2.5, 5, 10, 15 etc... Megacycles to hear the ticks.               EV> I know there is no need for me to prove how big of a LID I am, but if        EV> anyone has any doubts about it the above paragraph should help clarify        EV> the issue. .... ..              But what also happens to some people that are VERY oriented toward time       passage in their real-life day by day is that their bodies also 'train' toward       a heart beat 'standard' rate that is near perfect to sixty beats a minute.        Back in the 1960's through 1970's when I was spending huge time flying       airplanes and flight instructing that focused on a half hour or single hour       event I noticed that even if I never looked at the clock on the panel, I would       almost always be spot on for the 'end of session' and got curious as to why I       was so spot on without ever looking at a clock or listening to a time       standards whatever.              AHA! I discovered that my 'standard' heart beat rate was spot on near perfect       to a beat per second! And .. to this day even now that I am headed for 75       years old .. that beat rate is almost spot on to the exact same beat per       second that I never tried to 'learn' back then! Although even in high school       I was privately studying to be a hypnosis expert which might also be how my       body 'trained' itself by 'self' hypnosis to do this without my ever knowing it       was happening!!                     Mike Luther N117C at 1:117/100              ---        * Origin: BV HUB CLL(979)696-3600 (1:117/100)    |
