Yeah, well that Scott/Canuck was high when he drew the time lines.
I have a friend that lives directly south of me, and is on Mountain time.
The time zone boundaries look like the trail of a drunken skunk with a jar stuck on his head. :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

Hmmmmm, looking at this map

I’d say it’s another instance of having your own “World Standard” :wink: :stuck_out_tongue: :lol: And here I thought the Canadian version was “mighty interesting”.

BTW Sir Sandford Fleming’s proposal didn’t get accepted as is, it needed some improvement. And the rest is history!

HJ,
What’s with that Southwest Idaho and that jut into Oregon.
I rest my case.

Yes John, but look at the fine line over in ND and SD. :slight_smile:

Ole’ Sanford did not establish the time zone boundaries, he only proposed the idea of dividing the world into 24 time zones. :slight_smile:
So ya got to wonder where the logic was in establishing where the actual dividing lines would run. :wink:

Where it would cause the maximum inconvenience, of course :P

Yep", it's either that or a perfect occasion to assert your own "World Standards". BTW I know at least one "time zone change point" on the TCH that is a convenient reminder of "Stop here to shoot video". :D :D

Meanwhile, back to the “Most Profound Statement of the Year”

I, again, nominate “NEVER cal home from Costco.” At least Steve F. understands.

OR

The most requently asked school-age children: “What did ya’ get?”

How about when your walking with your wife through the store and she asks:

“Did you see her?!”

From my perspective - even silence is not the correct answer. After 4 marriages I know this for a fact.

Wendell,

How could I call home from Costco? We don’t shop there.
We very, very, very seldom see the inside of a Walmart, don’t frequent McDonalds and avoid Starbucks.

Timmy’s for us, H-J. I’m down to my last ten-pound can of their coffee this very morning.

A healthy breakfast consists of two Boston Creams and a large double-double [parp].

If you really want those lines to jump around throw “daylight savings time” into the mix. Some places change their clocks, others do not.

The kids in California get dropped off from their school buses in the dark. It’s now nearly dark at 5 in California.

That bit us this summer on vacation, driving from the North Rim of the Grand Canyon into Utah. We were late for an appointment!

Wish I would have been invited too that party!
Always the bridesmaid never the bride!

What’s so hard about converting units? ALso, I prefer my mileage in “Miles per gallon” than “Liters per 100km”. Must have been the French who thought that one up.

If I find myself needing to call home from Costco, I tell her that I’m calling from the parlor house. Safer.

Okay, I’ll yield to my second choice of “profundity” – here goes:
“Are we out out of paper!!!”
