[Magdalen] Time is -- uh ....

[Joseph Cirou]

I have noticed, especially in DST that our sunsets in Atlanta are later than those in Chicago 700 miles to the north; that may be because we are not that far from central time zone--next state in Alabama or 200 miles nw in Ann Markles former stamping grounds in Crossville, TN\
