Happy 2006 Etc

Hey everyone -- just wishing you all a Happy New Year! :) What're your plans? a) Sitting at home watching ball drop b) Sitting at home watching two blurry balls drop, then passing out c) Going to a party and doing either (a) or (b) above d) Going out and doing either (a) or (b) or (c) above e) Or?....use your imagination here.... BTW, everyone, my sources at NIST say that the year is an extra second longer...that Coordinated Universal Time, 23:59:60 is going to be the last second of the year 2005. So what's something one can do with an extra 'leap second' of time (perhaps blow the noisemaker just that little bit longer so you pass out from it, not the drink :))?

e) Driving several hundred miles to spend the day with a dear little girl I miss muchly. I'm spoiling her terribly for her belated Christmas; her parents can deal with the results.:laugh: Tucson, watch out. Laura has a noisy electronic keyboard, but only because the drum set I wanted to get her wouldn't fit in my truck. Her mom still thinks I bought her a motorcycle, a vicious rumor I started a few months ago.:snicker: "...a photo album is like Life, but flat and stuck to pages." - Shog9

This is really odd, most news sources here claim that the leap second is at 00:59:60, right before one in the morning on January 1st. Some of the news sites quote NIST, saying it's tonight at 23:59:60. Which one is correct?
The ones that quote NIST are correct. NIST is the hizzle in the time keeping fo-shizzle. Sincerely Yours, Brian Hart Department of Physics and Astronomy University of California, Irvine
