Google says Indiana started using it in 2006. Why?
I think the entire world should be one date/time zone. So much easier. I mean, I have to post twice for bloody birthdays. Such an effort.

I could be queen of my own timezone.
Lol rattus. That would really test my poor math skills. Thank dog for Google gnomes.

It's just how the sun moves otherwise we'd be like China and all on Beijing time. No issue here with time zones. People just get cranky one state won't fall in with daylight saving. Neither bothers me.

At least one state - Indiana - never changes its clocks.

Maybe Dani can enlighten us on something else - I thought it very odd that some places in Australia have a time zone difference of only 30 minutes. Can't see the point of that.

I like that. I keep forgetting so just wait for my computer to tell me.
