I've a question about last/utmp/wtmp that someone here should be able to answer.

At the shell I do

# date       
Sat Dec 19 16:29:07 MST 2015
# last       

wtmp begins Sat Dec 19 16:29 2015

This appears to set the beginning time to "now" 
every time I run the thing.  WTF sets the 
lower bound so as to see back from "now"?

It is not exactly obvious from the man pages how this works.  
I'm sure it's there, I just can't find it.
