Funny Story....

In High School/Early college....I actually used to keep my watch set to UT
time! (early 80s, and in those days my watch was NOT multimode....I was

lucky
that it was LCD! ).....because I got tired of dealing with constantly

figuring
if it was "daylight savings time" (and if you added or subtracted for

it..etc
etc) or not...or if I was in the eastern or central time zone (i live near

the
"border").....

And once in great while some stranger would ask me for the time....And I'd

have
to stand there and convert from 24 hr military time format outloud to 12

hr
civilian format...then mumble something about time zones....then mumble
something about daylight savings time...then wonder outloud if I got

something
backwards (bordline dyslexic here).....so after all this I would end up

telling
the person something like this....well, its 42 minutes past the hour, and

I
think its 9 am, but I could be off an hour or 2 either way.....

take care

Blll
