Indiana Time Zone Fiasco

i wouldn't think it would be too hard to find a map of all the counties. your kind of centrally located no? you may end up with central time.

edit: nevermind. i think you'll end up eastern, as thats what you're on now correct? looking at a map looks like you're too far east to go central.
 
I had no idea that the DOT would need to get involved in time-zone issues, but when I think about it, it makes sense.

I kinda just wish that we'd move everything a half-hour in one direction or the other and leave it alone thereafter.
 
Typically, counties close to Illinois will change.

When I lived in Indiana in the mid-1960s, we did the time change but that stopped quickly, so that eastern Indiana did something different than everyone else. (Typical!) Now, it's like Ohio in the Winter and Illinois during the summer.
 
The dumb thing is that the time zone line has to go somewhere. And no matter where you put it, it is going to inconvinence someone. I currently bounce between Valparaiso (always on Chicago time) and Rochester (currently half the year with New York and half the year with Chicago). With this plan, now they will never be on the same time.

The advantage is I (a night owl in Rochester) can call the Girlfriend (Morning person in Valpo) and not worry about being too late. The down side is it is amazing how jet lagged shifting one hour over the weekend can leave you!

It's all because of train schedules getting messed up.
