I hope I'm doing this right, it's been a while.

I thought the UTC was created with "leap seconds" inserted to closely tract GMT because GMT follows the rotation of the Earth which is not constant. I don't know, perhaps it affects the grit size on belgian corticules - one of which I would like to purchase.

Anyway, from (cough) nice and cool Arizona, I'll try to be here (6:50, 7:50 pm, something like that. We don't use "daylight savings time", which puts us at different times relative to EST at different times of the year.)
