Indiana has decided this year to go on daylight savings time (Eastern Time Zone). Each county in Indiana used to decide which time zone it wanted to be in. I never saw this as a problem, but I guess in some areas, neighboring counties would be on different times, causing confusion.
Terre Haute was also in the Eastern time zone, but it did not observe daylight savings. It was basically on eastern time in the winter and central time in the summer. I actually liked it that way. I have never liked daylight savings time, and I thought that was one thing Indiana did right. Alas, they are conforming to peer pressure, just wanting to be like all the other states. Oh well, it’s only going to affect me 2 days of the year so it’s not a big deal.
