Note: the rest of the world who change their clocks used to do so at the same time, and no they don't. Whatever the reason congress found, it didn't travel.

Thanks tw!

At one time Indiana had like 3 time zones...impossible to keep track of what time it really was...a few counties on the east and west borders both had holdouts, I believe. I think the east one is now in line with the rest of the state.

So when you hear people say "it's 5 O'clock somewhere" they're probably talking about Indiana. I like to say "it's 5:23 somewhere" since time changes in hour increments.
