Unfortunately it won't give us an extra second of daylight. :-)

Be sure to plan accordingly.
Ouch!

Jeez, the trip home feels like a decade longer. Sure it's only a second?

That's good news for those of us who think there are never enough hours in a day.

Every 100 Million years the length of day increases about 1 hr.

So the dinosaurs had to work much faster then us.

24.5 / 7 is just around the corner.

Or will they make the hours longer?

Please advise.

Don't forget to set your clocks back 1 second at midnight UTC. That is 7PM ET, 4PM PT.

The earth takes 23hours 56 min to spin once around. So why are the days 24 hours long? I feel greater tidal forces on my body. Are we closer to the Sun?
