Obligatory "don't fuck with the time" post

We're going to be out of sync with the world for the usual week or longer.  Mind you, I still believe Maine doesn't belong in the same time zone as Detroit or Atlanta...

But then you get into the question of whether Portland is part of Maine. Being as it's a suburb of Boston and all...

That's only partially a jest, by the way. A level of . . . tension . . . exists between Portland and the remainder of the state, usually resolved to the benefit of Portland and the detriment of less populous areas.

A fair argument regarding Portland. OTOH, the same argument can be made about places like Rumford and Livermore Falls, which are definitely not Boston suburbs.

Well, Rumford exists in its own time zone -- somewhere in the 1950s, I believe. Eisenhower is still president. Haven't been to Livermore Falls in ages, so I can't speak on that.
