Internet time is most reliable.
A few seconds wouldn’t bother me!

I wrote a poem about time ticking away. I think I have put it on the forums before but here it is again:

A moment in time has just gone
T'was there but a moment ago
The moment now is a new one
But soon even that one will go

It's now been replaced by another
The last one just upped and went
It will stay for only a moment
Until another one's sent.

Life's a collection of moments
In which all our actions are caught
We only get a few million moments
Now there's a horrible thought.

There's no need to be alarmed.

Nor me.
I couldn't care less about just a few seconds. In fact, I wouldn't even notice.

I doubt that all my clocks say exactly the same time even.

Re: How many clocks?

My parents have a grandfather's clock in the foyer that is open to the second story where all the grandchildren talk about how much they love the sound of the thing ticking and chiming as they have fallen asleep over the years. I remember my mother saving to purchase it.

Around the millennium, my parents marked what they called the twenty...and then ten year plans, a joking reference to their eventual demise.

My dad, now reporting that he is on "the fifteen minute plan," refers to the old gentleman ticking downstairs as his "countdown clock". He hasn't lost his sense of humor in the least.

Tick tock.
