For others their today is my tomorrow. I Think! I suppose that would work if it is Midnight here and 11 PM in the next time zone. Yeah, that will work. I like the saying, "Why do today what you can put off until tomorrow?" I think there is a corollary statement to this that goes something along these lines: Tomorrow never gets here. When tomorrow arrives it is today and we have to wait another day for tomorrow. Also, when tomorrow arrives as today it makes today yesterday. So if tomorrow is today and today is yesterday does that make tomorrow yesterday and if it does what happened to today?
You know I was looking again at The World Clock page. I noticed that there are several areas in the world that have time zones that are 30 minutes different rather than 1 hour different from their neighbors. Some examples are: Adelaide, Darwin, Kabul, Kolkata, Mumbai, New Delhi, St. John's, Tehran, and Yangon. But what's up with places like Chatham Island in New Zealand? They are 45 minutes different, or 15 minutes depending upon your perspective. Another city that is Kathmandu in Nepal. Does it take 15 minutes longer to get to these places or maybe the sunlight reaches them 45 minutes faster. I don't know. But I am sure that the reason lies in a logical reason that is buried somewhere in history or tradition or historical tradition or the tradition of history.
If you want to see some good sites for time zones you might try worldtimezone.com, Time Zone Check, or Time Ticker. One thing I've found though is that they do not all agree. It is fun though. Enjoy
