Time zones

[Dave]

Time zones are one of those things I never gave a thought about before moving here. In the past traveling and occasionally crossing a line was no big deal. Now I live about 25 miles from the line. That can make you an hour late to appointments if you don't remember to allow for it. Earlier this week we were on the freeway at Fare Well Bend. I glance at the clock. It said 5:00. I thought at home at 5:00 it is dark out. It was good and light out there. Just a couple miles up the road I cross the county line and it is 4:00. Thirty minutes later I am home and we are losing light fast.
Now I am sitting here at a little before 7:00 in the morning. It is starting to get light out. Back those few miles to the east it is nearly 8:00 and just now getting light out.

I would have to wear two watches.

When I was in high school we had players on the team who’s parents worked in Chattanooga which is eastern time zone. We are central time zone . Those guys even though they lived in Alabama lived by eastern time zone. I got so tired of hearing them ask Coach when he announced practice or game time; was that fast time or slow time ? Eastern or central technically speaking. We sometimes have doctors appointments or business in Chattanooga so it takes a little thinking

We have friends in sw Nebraska, not far from the Colorado line. Apparently some folks in their area run on mountain time - anytime we’re there or meeting them somewhere they always specify “central time”

I went to a conference in Tucson last week. I was kinda worried that my internal clock would feel off, but it didn’t seem to be a problem…

KY is divided by eastern and central time.
The line is about 100 miles west of here.
We are on eastern time and far enough away it really doesn’t affect us much. Occasionally, there will be a question if we’re supposed to meet with somebody from central time zone.
I’ve always been glad we didn’t live right close to the line that would be annoying to keep up with if you had much business in the other time zone.

I use two different trucks to drive to the sale in Vale. The Ford with the trailer hooked up and the Chevy without the trailer. When daylight saving changed I changed the Ford but haven't done the Chevy yet. I told my wife the Chevy is on Mountain time.

I am over there every week at least two times. One for groceries and the other for the sale in Vale.

Central time zone is about 30 minutes from here in the directions we usually head (south and west). So we pretty much always have to figure out different time zones.

Gets dark at 5pm here which is too early but just down the road it's 4pm.

Half the year Alberta is on our time, the other half the year the rest of B.C. is on our time. Gotta be careful when traveling for appointments or even Zoom meetings. Also need to learn fast to turn the automatic time change setting to off on all devices.
