Today I listened to a RadioLab podcast on how the dinosaurs went extinct. It was very science-y and cool. The podcast talked about lots and lots of cool things like by looking at different types of pollen in a rock it can be determined that a meteor hit the earth in June. That's pretty precise and pretty amazing.
The part that amazed me most was that it can be determined that the dinosaurs went extinct in roughly two hours. It took just two hours for the world to end if this theory is right. Two hours?! I think about different ways that I spend two hours to put this into perspective. This post basically took 15 minutes. Yesterday, I spent more than two hours in meetings at work that didn't amount to anything really. Earlier this week, I spent almost 2 hours commuting to and from work in a single day. I've spent more than two hours being upset about nothing.
This reminds me that time is precious. Without warning my time may be cut short. There's right now that's for certain and that's all. Make it count Taher.
