    Must be wild living somewhere in the middle of a state right at a time zone border

    Specially that eastern Oregon / western Idaho pocket where you gain an hour going far enough north, south, or west lol

      Even within a time zone things can be odd because of how big they are. Like you’ve got sunlight in the summer in Maine until like 8 but in Michigan it’s 9.

      I lived within 20 min of the EST and CST split for a couple years. It is wild. Doing anything informal like meeting with friends was fine because we’d just say “come by in 2 hours.” Other times it was awful, leaving home at 7:45pm to go to the grocery store across town and arriving 90 minutes later after they closed sucked lol

      Nah. Not really. Time zones don’t follow state boundaries because they generally follow natural population boundaries.
