But, there's the one with the map of our old place in California. Another one with a map of our old place in St. Paul. One with a detailed map of my favorite fishing lake. Another one that is a clock designed to teach children how to read an analog clock, for when we get really old and need a reminder. I have a 24 hour clock to remind me of military time. One that goes backwards, and finally, one that a relative gave us one year. That one is in the guest bathroom, just in case that relative visits.

They're useless, of course. I don't care what time it is most of the time. My phone and computer have the correct time on display. We just like clocks.
