Egads.  Sometimes I really wonder about some of you people!

Since sending in my "continuity error" message, I've gotten several
messages from people asking how I could know that a twelve hour
clock advanced by "about 12 hours".  I would have thought that my use
of the word "about", and common sense, would have yielded the answer!
I didn't say 12 hours.  I said ABOUT 12 hours to emphasize the degree
of change.  In fact, the clock in question went from 1:20 to
1:05.  In my book, that's "about 12 hours", assuming a clock that
isn't running backwards!  So c'mon people, gimme a break!
