It's still a bone of contention here in Indiana. The argument continues about being in the Eastern time zone or the Central time zone. The two corners of the state are still on Central and the rest on Eastern. At least, a few years ago we finally went on Daylight Savings Time. Before that, we joined Arizona and Hawaii as the states not on DST. Our problem is that we pretty much straddle the time zone. Fun, fun, fun!
