Same here in Knoxvegas. It's 8:34PM right now and still light outside, with about
30 min to go before sunset. The time zone changes about an hour's drive West of
here (Cumberland County, I believe), something that's messed me up a few times
when going that way for work. Being at the Western end of the time zone makes
for very late sunsets, and sunrises.

Time Zones really don't bother me much as long as the dividing lines are in
sensible places, it's Daylight Savings that I'd like to see eliminated. There
are a few places like Indiana, Arizona or Hawaii that don't use it.
