Well, yeah. All the open businesses, military installations, fire departments, hospitals, on and on. More than once I got stuck on a 12-hour watch (Navy) that turned into 13 hours

Yes to all your questions! And, Picasa will self destruct too. Be mindful of the rule to do it at exactly 2 AM.

In addition to teaching, I wanted to get into broadcast radio. (Careful what you wish for.) . I was given that chance, no complaints, even when I was initially assigned on Saturday nights, shift being 12 midnight to 6AM Sunday morning. This meant that twice a year my shift would change, to a 5 hour shift or a 7 hour shift. Still, no complaints, especially when I could be creative with the "second 2AM".

The clock is in Boulder at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (formerly called NBS) but the transmitter is in Fort Collins. In the 70's, on my shortwave receiver, I used to tune into the broadcasted signal from station WWV at 5, 10, etc. MHZ. I listened to the "click-click-click" at one-second intervals until my brain could match the cadence. I would then amaze my friends by betting them that I could tell when exactly one minute had passed. You can hear the signal on your phone at 303-499-7111. Thank God that photography came into my life so that I could pursue a less geeky existence.

I called the number and listen to the signal this is pretty cool now I have a new interest. Thanks for sharing this pretty interesting I knew the clock was up there somewhere but I never really thought about it.

I believe that is what is called a "Tiffany Problem!" Have you called the Kardashians to see how they would handle it?
