Time zones are laid out to be 7.5 degrees on either side of the the defined central meridian lines which are appropriately 15 degrees apart. The 75 degree central meridian (Eastern Time) slashes through New York City and the 90 degree central meridian passes through St. Louis. The 82 degree meridian goes through Columbus, OH which should be the approximate western edge to the Eastern Zone. Observing political division lines would start the Central Time Zone at the Indiana state line.

How did Indiana ever get to be on Eastern Time?

I frequently sleep during the day, because I work third shift a lot. I just tape aluminum foil over the windows.

Personally, I think the feds should abolish daylight savings time. But whatever they decide to do, they should make a decision and stick with it. Constantly changing the boundaries and the dates that we are supposed to reset the clocks creates confusion.

For all of those that want to go to Central Time Zone, do me a favor. Look out your window right now (it is 4:50) and it is nearly dark. Now, if we were on Central Time it would be 3:45 and dark. Yea, that sounds like a lot of fun. Lets lose an hour of sun light in the summer so we can add another hour of darkness in the winter!!!!

12 other states have two times zones. Indiana would be the butt of jokes if it changed to Central.
