One Minute …erm, Second Ramble: Just a tick


What strange phenomenon falls tonight before the day of the Full Moon? Exactly before. The split second before July 1st? A Leap Second, that’s what!

Yes, at 23:59:60 June will become July.

We have an extra second today… and I’ve just filled it for you!

Enjoy… and enjoy the power of tomorrow’s Full Moon also!

      I actually lost a further few, Tess… after this post my internet connection was lost and it took a while waiting to get back connected. Sigh…

        Huh. Do you suppose the leap second had something to do with it? Messed up the universe?

          It could have done, Tess… especially as it’s time-related, and my connection problems occurred before the Leap Second was due to take place… it may already had have done, mind you, and we needed the Leap Second to readjust to itself.

          I’m going to lie down in a darkened room…

      I know what you mean, Prenin, I’m a little parboiled myself!
      And yes… an extra second comes in handy when you have to use many waiting for the internet connection to kick back into life again!!! 😉

        Actually you may find that the reason you had connection problems has more than a little to do with the timing system that keeps the internet running – I had connection issues too – as did my Talk Talk set top box! 😦

        God Bless!

          We’ve been getting bashed by very large solar bursts Prenin. It’s no wonder we all felt it via the internet…Put on your sun glasses and sun block 🙂 VK

      Well, Viv, that’s as good a use of it as any other, I suppose!

    As if this one second we gain will make a whole lot of difference in the scheme of things. One hour perhaps, but one second? It is gone before it even starts really…Oh well, just one more thing to draw peoples attention away from the reality going on. Hope the full moon produces meaningful results! We need them….Have a good one TL….VK

      It did strike me as a distraction, VK, so I decided to make a bigger thing about it than it was. The Full Moon has brought with it some remarkable changes with people moving away, seemingly rather quickly… very strange, and hopefully good for all concerned!
