Whew! I have just returned home from my brief stay in the asylum. Imagine the
hard time I had convincing the doctors that there was nothing wrong with
me...all the while pounding my fist on their desks screaming, "IT'S MY HZ, IT'S
MY HZ, IT'S MY HZ". Doctors are screaming back "What hurts?", What hurts?, What
hurts?" I yell "301, 301, 301, IT'S MY HZ, IT'S MY HZ, IT'S MY HZ". A vicious
cirle indeed, not unlike a twisted Monty Python routine.

Twasn't cesium after all, but rubidium! Trace amounts apparently leaked from my
frequency standard leading to bizarre, yet not completely irrational, behavior.
All is slowly returning back to normal...seems like just a distant dream now...
