I think this story sums up why we count:
One day a young girl watched her mother prepare a ham for Thanksgiving dinner.
"Mom, why did you cut off both ends of the ham?" the daughter asked.
"Because my mother always did," said the mother.
"But why?"
"I don't know-why don't you call Granny and find out why."
So the daughter called Granny and asked her. "Granny, when you prepared your hams for baking, why did you always cut off both ends?"
"My mother always did it," said Granny.
"But why?"
"I don't know-why don't you call your Great-grandmother and ask her?" So the daughter preceded to telephone Great-grandmother to inquire why traditionally her family always cut off both ends of a ham before cooking it.
"Great-grandma, when you prepared your ham for baking, you always cut off both ends-why?"
"Well," Great-grandma said, "the pan was too small."
and that my friend is why we count

Why not!
It's better then watching grass grow, which up here in the NorthEast it isn't!
And it's better then watching paint dry or ice melt or the traffic light change. But not quite as much fun as watching ice form or water boil
!!
Oh, here come the guys in the white coats. Time to Go!!!
