Well, the WWVB transmitters are in Colorado. I'm in California. The
signals did not arrive via bus, truck, airplane, train, or carrier

Someone should put together a digest of some of your more pithy sayings.
I'm still chuckling over the one about "time is nature's way of making
sure things don't all happen at once" (that's from memory, I'm way too
lazy to actually look it up).

theories about "nothing is really analogue, everything is digital in its
own way"?
