Has America changed its clocks re summertime or some such?

All the posts are showing one hour in the future... presumably all the post times are now incorrect in every country in the world except America.

i like the way they do daylight savings time in japan- instead of making everybody reset their clocks backwards or forwards, they just by consensus decide to do their daily things an hour earlier or later depending on the season. so sensible.

oh my goodness, TallyMan! :D You mean you don't set your clocks by what our little proclivities are here in the States? How un- USA centered you are! :D

I know, isn't it a pain? Studies show how what was useful in Benjamin Franklin's time to save candles isn't so useful now (and expensive) but onward we trudge. :roll:

oh, and by the way, because we are Aspies and interested in this sort of thing one State has it's own issues with time.

Special notes on Indiana Time

Indiana Time is in the Eastern Time Zone in the United States. Eastern Standard Time (EST) is 5 hours behind Greenwich Mean Time (GMT-5).

Indiana from 2 April 2006
From 2am EST (7am GMT) the whole of Indiana adopted Daylight Savings Time. Most of Indiana is in the Eastern Time Zone. For exceptions see below.

The following counties were in Central Time Zone from 2 April 2006
18 counties in the Central Time and adopt Daylight Saving Time.

In North-West Indiana 7 counties: Lake, Porter, Laporte, Newton, Jasper, Starke and Pulaski.

NB Pulaski County changed to the Eastern Time zone from 12 March 2007 leaving 17 counties on Central time

In South-West Indiana 11 counties: Knox, Daviess, Martin, Gibson, Pike, Dubois, Posey, Vanderburg, Warrick, Spencer & Perry.


Arizona just uses Pacific time in the Winter and Rocky mountian time in the Summer and has no "change" in time.
