Today, with every tick of the atomic clock at the National Bureau of

for the fourth time today).
As long as we are making changes, let's go to the 24 hour clock. No
confusion about AM or PM when the clock strikes 1800 hours.
Btu, but, but...Think of chaos caused by people who rely on the
striking for their time. So I'm having my afternoon nap and wonder if
it is time to get up. Clock stikes 17 but I fall back asleep before I
can count that high.
Easily solved. Either use some version of the sailor's bells or, since
it's Samuel Morse's birthday (218 years young), do it in Morse code.
