Do other states have as messed up time zones and time history as Indiana? Most of my life Indiana was not observing DST until 2006. There was a debate about whether we should be in Eastern or Central. The IN government chose Eastern except for a few counties. Then the federal Dept of Transportation stepped in and changed which time zones some of the counties were. I think DST is kind of silly myself but I also feel IN is too far west for Eastern. (OK, mini-rant over.)

It's more messed up than that!  While most of Indiana did not observe DST until 2006, most of Jasper county and, I think, White county (the one just north of Jasper county), have *always* observed DST. 

But the rest of Indiana doesn't know that about us. I get it, we're small and having nothing happening here except for corn growing and occasional floods.   But I can't tell you how many times guests visiting from other parts of Indiana have showed up a full hour early to my house because they had no idea that we were in a different time zone.  And I'm, um, not one of those organized people who is ready an hour early.  I 'm usually not even *dressed* an hour early.
