Well when i started this i had PST as my zone but i guess i should put CST..so all that i post is in reality 2 hours later then what the blog says!! So 1pm would actually be 3 pm.
Now..do any of you know how or why we have the time zones here in the US of A?....
Well, I'll tell you!! We can thank the invention of the train for our time zones!! Way back when it was up to each and every states and town and village etc to pick which time they wanted to go by!! As you can guess,,after awhile this became rather confusioning to say the least! With the invention of the locomative, transportation between towns and cities became much faster, thus, it was decided that we [USA] needed to have a more uniform time system.
So after much thought and calculation, taking into consideration the angle of the Sun, speed of the Earth's rotation, geographical boundaries of the USof A our time zones were established so that trade and transportation and commerce in general would be more reliable and thus, the good ole US of A could sposper and become what it is today!!!
Now of course, there are still a few exceptions to this lil feat!!! Arizona for one, but that has more to do with daylight Savings Time then antyhign esle...Oh, there's a fcouple more , but right off hand i can't recall them! Anyways...so now you know how we got our time zones!!!!!
Kinda funny how this started out as my explaining why my posted times aren't really what the blog says...lol...next i think i might tackle why ketchup REALLY could be considered a vegatable {thank you President Ronals Reagan}.
