The obvious solution is to reduce the accuracy of WWVB or introduce a
random dither (selective availability?) into the watch timing. Time
accuracy will vary a few minutes one way or the other, and the peak
load on the facilities will be reduced and dispersed over a wider time
period.

thanks for the low-down. And here I was thinking that the occasional
introduction of leap-seconds was what was saving the world from
certain disaster. I had no idea that leap-minutes might be required to
save us all. I'll bet the CIA knew this and had a cover-up to keep it
quiet.

I'm pushing for multiple random arbitrary and unpredictable variations
in time. The pendulum has swung towards excessive accuracy for far
too long. It's time that the clocks conform to human activities
instead of the other way around. I'm often late, sometimes early, and
never on time. If UTC time was suitably dithered to mimic my erratic
lifestyle, my customers would not have any justification to scream at
me on arrival. If I can't have time dithered, then perhaps an
occasional random leap hour to shake up the works.
