xpost to Pleasant. Why? They're probably border towns there that need to be on the same time with the Colorodans just west of 'em.

― donut e-goo (donut), Wednesday, 22 June 2005 22:24 (twenty years ago)

Then what about those other three counties? It's not like there's a major city on the other side of the line ala Chicago and northern Indiana.

And they are pissed. They tried to secede from Kansas fifteen years ago.

There might be a string of towns up and down the state line.. shrug. You seem to know Kansan history more than I do.

Then again, Idaho is pretty broken up.. Pacific in the panhandle, Mountain below it:

http://www.united-states-online.de/idmap.gif

Just south of Lewiston is the Pacific/Mountain time line. Granted, the panhandle is much thinner, but there's enough small towns on either side of the WA/ID state line to grant that they should all be in PST. Lewiston, ID/Clarkston, WA -- Moscow, ID/Pullman, WA -- Spokane, WA/C'ouer D'Alene, ID.. etc.

(insert obligatory derisive Idaho comments here)

― donut e-goo (donut), Wednesday, 22 June 2005 23:32 (twenty years ago)

Why not just insert Idaho? It seems ready for it.

There is no time in the hole.

If I didn't know any better, I'd say that Idaho is the only state to be bisected laterally, as opposed to dorsally, by two time zones. Fucks shit up, those tater farmers.

Russia might have eleven time zones, but China rox it all by being all big and huge and mean, and having JUST ONE time zone.

I don't know much about Kansan history (except for what I've bloviated), but I do know that I tried to name my band's "genre" by a sign I once saw in western Kansas:

http://www.washburn.edu/cas/art/cyoho/archive/KStravel/postrock/title.gif

The rest of my band didn't fall for it, and neither should you.

i moved from australian eastern standard time to central (US). it sucks on a friday morning when you know everyone in sydney is already well into their friday night but it rocks sunday afternoon when you know all those AEST suckas are back at work.

i thought MST was like a 1/2 hour behind CST. are PSTers pissed that their live tv gets edited (a la SNL)?

And then, there's Malheur County, OR. The just have to be different.

Here are a few questions from Malheur County's FAQ:

Do I have to have a burn permit?

When is the landfill open?

I have questions about transporting material into Oregon. Who do I call for trip permits?

How can I bail my friend out of jail?

I think there is a warrant for me. How do I find out?

When is my trial?

Where can I get a restraining order?

and

What kind of weed is this?

Why does the time zone line in FLorida dip like that?

I once won a bet from my know-it-all step-grandfather about which Eastern Seaboard state was partially in the Central Time Zone. He insisting that there wasn't any.

― Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Thursday, 23 June 2005 21:41 (twenty years ago)

Pleasant, it follows the Apalachicola River to the Intercoastal, jogs west along it to the Bay Count Line, and shoots down to the St. Joseph Bay and divides Mexico Beach from Beacon Hill (the two towns are otherwise in separable), although according to the map it apparently severs Cape San Blas so that the western end is in Central Time Zone, and I really don't think it is.

Saw it pointed out on 12 Mile Circle that Malheur County, Ore., is just one hour behind Pensacola, Fla.

And on the night that everyone "falls back" to Standard Time, both places in opposite coastal states are the same time (for an hour.)

Did not know this was up for consideration: Massachusetts Could Swap Time Zones for Later Winter Sunsets

As the article notes, you'd have to have at least the rest of New England to go along with it to make it work. It'd be weird having five time zones in the contiguous US.

If economics were not the main concern, we’d all be on our own solar time, when the sun is directly overhead at noon. In theory, solar time optimizes our sleep and natural biorhythms.

That sounds great. Less economics, better sleep, sundials for everyone.

If economics were not the main concern, we’d all be on our own solar time, when the sun is directly overhead at noon. In theory, solar time optimizes our sleep and natural biorhythms.

But everyone knows when the sun rises, is overhead, and sets. It's not like clocks prevent us from seeing these events.

― A is for (Aimless), Sunday, 29 October 2017 03:47 (eight years ago)

clocks are a form of social control that leads us to deny the natural significance of the events we all see
