You may have noticed that I chose the Central time zone when I set up this blog. That seemed appropriate for the name of the blog, but it relates to a big issue in Indiana: What time is it?
I remember the confusion about calling maternal grandparents while I was growing up, and I knew that for all of my life lots of Hoosiers have had issues with daylight saving time, but the full glory of the history of time in Indiana didn't become apparent to me until this week.
I read the wikipedia article on Time in Indiana.
Disagreements about the nature of conventional reality don't get much more surreal than that.

I'm not sure I like being branded a "hoosier." Maybe it should be "former hoosier." Note that my brothers and I moved away from the flatlands, and all 3 of us married non-hoosiers the second time around. Maybe we all learned something. Or maybe there just isn't any meaning to any of this.
I'm still pleased to be of Hoosier extraction.
I wonder if using "Hoosier" or "hoosier" in a posting reveals something about the poster.
It might be me channelling the disappointment of all the coaches who really wished I had joined the basketball team.
