[...You showed up a DAY early one time.  Must be nice to be so free of schedules...]
What's a schedule?  Is that related to that ugly "W" word?  :trink39:

brider:
Years ago I bought a TDM 850 in Nashville TN so I hitched a ride from Dayton to pick it up and ride it home.  In my usual fashion I just started going north on back roads.  Stopped for gas in IN someplace and asked what time it was to which the person said fast time or slow time?  Apparently I was in one of those fringe area.   

stevegrab:
I've tried consulting The Great Google and have no luck finding info on these fringe time zones. The map Doug linked is interesting, but pretty hard to follow without a legend. The red/pink areas are central time based on what I've seen, the rest is eastern. Apparently the non yellow areas are the fringe, and maybe they use both times (slow for central, fast for eastern).

DirtFlier:
Sometime around 1990-91, I had to fly to Chicago from Troy to bring back a Honda motocross truck that was being transferred to the Rider Ed Ctr.  Partway across IN, I noticed by the radio announcer that the time had changed by an hour and I was totally bewildered because I knew nothing of the strange time zones in the Hoosier state.  In my head, I could hear the Twilight Zone theme music playing.  :-(

DirtFlier:
[...I don't think the man even owns a watch!..brider]

I do own one or more watches from my working days but their whereabouts are unknown at this time.

To me, "watch" is a verb not a noun - I walk to my mailbox and watch for the mailman who's bringing my retirement check.  :-)
