Josh is right again, and David faithfully reporting the establishment
line, again.

The US Navy sets the clocks of the world, synching computers worldwide
in the wee hours of the mornings so that a gradual slowing is
disguised.  All sing the same tune!  But the Moon is not dialing up the
US Navy clock in the middle of the night, to sync, so it stands as a
TRUE indicator of the rate of slowing as we approach 2003.  Per my 1991
book, The Solar System, a Practical Guide, "the time between successive
full moons, known as the synodic moon, is 29.53 days long". But per the
statistics reported by none other than the US Navy, this has MOVED from
29.53 days to become 29.53916 in 1999 to 29.55375 in 2000!

Must be those heavy tides, huh, Dave.
