Time of the year again to 'spring forward'. checked NIST web site to get
current time---web site down (what a half-assed operation).

Did a 20 minute web search to find a time standard station. Checked
CHU---their web clock down. Searched for Greenwich Observatory and found a
web clock that was 6 second slow. Looked for BPM (China) nothing. Tried
VNG... they closed down in 2002. Checked Naval Observatory---should have
known better. Anyway... so much for the INTERNET!

BUT...

signals were running neck-and-neck with the folks with the 'favored ethnic
status' from south-of-the-border carrying on their CB chit-chat.
