" Do you really know what time it is ? "

"Does anybody really care?"

I know I'm off topic in the off topics, but I still think this will make it easier for Tony and Robby to do the double. At least it will be like it used to be before last year, unless the Coca-Cola 600 has switched starting time.

"Does anybody really care?"

I do since I have family living in Starke County. I'm very happy that they will be on the same time as the rest of my family in the NW Indiana/Chicagoland area.

Actually, I think we were quoting a "Chicago" song.

What a joke, now 18 counties central and 92 eastern. Indiana should be all one or the other, preferably central.

[comfortably numb]

Maybe Indiana should just secede.

Just as long as Marion Co. is in Eastern, fine by me. Now we'll be on the same time as the famous Whosyer year round.

Why?

That would be 18 central and 74 eastern.

And why should it be all one or the other? They've never been all one or the other that I can recall.

I thought the whole point was for companies outside of Indiana to know what time it was here, now they'll have to consult an Indiana county map to see which counties are on what time.

Oh yes, I misread the Star article, but like 18 and 72 is any better.

No I can't imagine why, we all got time enough to die....

The main point was for companies outside of Indiana to know that Indiana was always the same time as them or the same number of hours behind them year round.

You've always had to consult a map to determine what time zones are where.

!#@$@$%$#&*

I live in Lawerence (will be Eastern) and work in Martin (will be Central)

This is going to suck.

WTH is Martin going to Central. It's almost halfway across the state.
