Provincetown, MA

Provincetown, MA, at the end of CapeCod, reminds me of Key West in Florida - both are major tourist destinations at the end of a string of islands. Lots of pedestrians, bars, narrow streets - it's a big party, 24/7.

What Time is it in Indiana?

(from http://www.mccsc.edu/)

Indiana is one of three states which do not Spring ahead from "standard" to "daylight saving" time or Fall back from daylight to standard six months later. Arizona* and Hawaii are the others. Under the US Uniform Time Act of 1966, the Department of Transportation is in charge of time zones in the United States and ensuring that jurisdictions
observing daylight saving time begin and end on the same date. However, states may determine participation in Daylight Saving Time.

The US Uniform Time Act of 1966 places Indiana in the Eastern time zone. In 1969, ten (10) counties in the Chicago and Evansville corners of the state were moved to the Central time zone where they join Chicago in using Daylight time. In 1991, an eleventh, Starke County, in the northwest (Chigago area) was added. Five (5) counties near Cincinnati and Louisville, while in the Eastern zone with the remaining 76 counties, do observe Eastern Daylight Time. Indiana State law, however, is allowed by the Uniform Time Act of 1966 to keep those 76 counties on Eastern Standard Time (EST) all year long.


Thus, US and Indiana law create three different time arrangements in the
Hoosier State:

1. 76 counties (including state capital Indianapolis) are in the Eastern Time Zone but do not change to Daylight time in April; instead they remain on Standard Time all year long; [yellow on map and chart]
   
   
2. 11 counties -- six near Chicago, IL, and five near Evansville, IN, are in the Central Time Zone and use both Central Standard and Central Daylight; [red on map and chart] and
   
   
3. five other counties -- two near Cincinnati, OH, and three near Louisville, KY -- are in the Eastern Time Zone but use both Eastern Standard and Eastern Daylight. [green on map and chart]
   
   

*The U.S. Department of Transporation shifted Starke County to the
Central zone with the Group 2 (Chicago-area) counties in 1991.
The 1967 Indiana statute included Starke in Group 1 (most of the
state). This was over-ridden by a 1968 lawsuit involving national
television networks.

Twilight in Lincoln, NE

I visited Lincoln on a four-day road trip about 10 years ago. Home to ex-college football powerhouse University of Nebraska, it is your typical college town, with lots of places to hang out - bars, coffee houses, diners, and book stores. A foreign tourist may mistake Lincoln for a city called "Huskers", as cornhuskers signs and memorabilia abound.
