Two of the local rags ran a piece on the leap second. All NB daily papers are owned by the same family. Shades of "rosebud." Scan of one attached. They didn't get it all right but I'll give them an A- for the effort. I faked making a sextant observation for the photo. Note the GNSS antenna in the background. At least they didn't caption it "master and commander." ;-) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Richard B.
