Hello and welcome good to see you thanks for coming along for the ride today just a little helpful hint today the 6th of January

2021 for those of you listening live it's a big day around the country in many

many places but it's also a day that we learned that the Coast Guard will now have defense cruise missiles in their inventory.

So if you're thinking about just wandering around the beach doing what you're not supposed to be doing?

I think not, my friend. I think not. The Coast Guard with their cruise missiles will have something to say to you.

Okay? So be on the lookout. That's all I'm saying. Fair warning.

Welcome to chewing the fat. So, Oh, So it appears that time is speeding up. So they want to shorten the minute by a second. I know.

So, for example, last Sunday was only, and I felt it.

You did probably so did you.

You felt to yourself, wow wow this day was shorter than

yesterday and you'd be right it was 23 hours 59 minutes and the 59.9.

999892 minutes and 59.999.27 seconds.

D.

that's according to time and date.com.

And while the planet's rotation speeds up or slows down slightly from day to day

due to natural terrestrial and celestial alterations, astronomical calendars, trends indicate that recent

years have become shorter. So, so 2020, and it didn't feel like it was shorter, I'll tell you that, but according to this, it was,

2020 is now the leading year since 2005 for the shortest day 28 times.

In 2021 is slated to be about 19 milliseconds short of a typical year.

We can't have that. We cannot have that.

That means there's an average daily deficit of 0.5 milliseconds.

I know, I know, but we've got the atomic clock and what they've been doing is leap seconds
