Thanks.  I found it via google.  It's 3 clicks away from the blog post.

In case anybody wants to get there.  Start here:
  https://blog.cloudflare.com/secure-time/amp/
Scroll down to "Use it", the next to last paragraph.  Follow "developer docs" 
to:
  https://developers.cloudflare.com/time-services/
Click "Get started" to:
  https://developers.cloudflare.com/time-services/ntp/
Click "Cloudflare's Time Service" in the left column to:
  https://developers.cloudflare.com/time-services/ntp/usage/

The second paragraph starts with:

> 2) Anycast.

What does anycast mean when DNS returns 2 IPv4 addresses?  Is the client 
expected to do anything other than use the first address returned?
