New Year, Leap Second

Time

Time

Thanks to the slowing spin of the Earth on its axis (don’t worry, there is no immediate peril associated with the fact), the official timekeepers of the world must adjust their atomic clocks by adding a second to them tonight - 11:59:59 will happen twice! Enjoy your celebrations of 2008, your anticipations for 2009, and revel in the fact that you get a little more time this year to raise a toast, find a moment, or linger in a kiss. Happy New Year with wishes of peace and clear skies from all at Utah Skies.
