Thanks for all the explanations of my radio and clock phenomena! I'm sure
all the proper technical ones were quite correct, but I'll admit I much
prefer the ones related to area 51, San Francisco vibes, and deliberately
making my clock run fast so I'll get to BBtB on time!
And of course, it was Plan 9 from Outer Space, not Planet 9! Though I'll
admit I've only seen it once, and I'm not a sci-fi fan.
Still enjoying the cool clamminess here on the left coast...
Joy
