Hello there. Well, I'm back from Nebraska. Back to the blog.
Did you know that we all get an extra second tonight just before midnight. Here is the explanation from cnn.com
**Immediately before midnight a leap second -- the first for three years -- will be added to atomic clocks around the world by official timekeepers.
Peter Whibberley, a senior research scientist at Britain's National Physical Laboratory, said the Earth's erratic rotation meant an extra second needed to be added.
"The difference between atomic time and Earth time has now built up to the point where it needs to be corrected, so this New Year's Eve we will experience a rare 61 second minute at the very end of 2008 and revelers... will have an extra second to celebrate."
Whibberley told British media anyone sober enough and who had a digital clock that picked up leap second information from a reliable source, would see the final seconds of 2008 as 57, 58, 59, 60, 00 -- with 60 being the extra second**
The morning show is off tomorrow the 1st. Then Johnny will do the show by himself on Friday and I will fill in for Maria from 9am-2pm.
Enjoy the day. Thanks for stopping by.
Carrie
