time

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/ is a good place to get a sense of time around the world. gosh, I hope Marci is ok with this topic. I couldn't figure out what conference it belonged in so I picked geo.

This is fine, Terry. I'm still ttying to remember I am ahead of California instead of behind it time-wise. A handy little calculater is useful. So is that url you cited. Excellent. Indiana has two time zones. So does some parts of Ky and Tn. It is very confusing.

Just remember the sun comes up on the east coast and when it's 7 am in NYC, it's 6 am in Louisville, 5 am in Denver and 4 am in California. It gets earlier the further west you go.

You'd be amazed at how many people phoned us in the middle of the night thinking we were either a day ahead in Hawaii or on some other time machine which made it daytime no matter when they called. Louisville keeps the same time as New York City. Eastern time. Other parts of the state (south) and some of Tennessee are an hour later. Very confusing.

that is weird. maybe they ought to do away with the whole thing. some states don't keep daylight savings time (i think arizona is one of them).

Wow, you really don't think of Kentucky as being on the East Coast. No wonder Marci is ahead of the rest of us in time.

After being the last time zone in America for so long, it is nice to be up with current events and news when it happens. Indiana has had two referenca on the time problem. I think they have resloved it. HOwever, KY and TN still have two time zones going. It makes life difficult. I keep local time and DB keeps time back home. Occasionally we get messed up but mostly it works. I'm with Wolfie. Time is abstract. Why mess with this two time zones in one state?!

I think Texas, big as it is, just has the one time zone. If it's noon in Lousiville, what time is it in Hawaii?

it does, central standard time. we go back an hour for colorado and another for california. ahead 1 hour for the east coast. didn't know KY and TN have TWO time zones. So what if my house was on the time zone line? if my bedroom was in one and my work in another would i be late?

Hey. Happy New Year everybody. We got a bonus second last night. Did you notice?

yeah--i heard about that... HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I blogged First Night at http://austincast.com/blog/ And the pix are here. http://austincast.com/firstnight

Noted the extra second, too. Hawaii stays on standard time, so in real hours, Hawaii is 5 hours behind Louisville unless we spring ahead an extra hour which makes it 6 hours behind us. Ergo, Noon in Louisville = 7 AM in Hawaii - standard time. Noon in Louisville = 6 AM in Hawaii - daylight saving time

Wolfie there are towns in Indiana where a person is on eastern time while the job downtown is on central. I think they tried to eliminate county line houses for many reasons including taxation and elections. I don't think there are any (but it is always possible) houses sharing two time zones.

OH Terry, which has the picture of you and where is Willian's? All that talent in Austin and I get generic photos?! Bummer.

never NEVER spell someone's name wrong. Sorry, William ! (nervous habit)

what? there are pictures of terry and william?

Nyet. Not yet. Coming soon to a theater near you. William willing.

Please !!! Ask and it shall be delivered unto you !

I do bribes too *;)
