International Time
I often wonder what time it is when members are posting or replying. Is it breakfast or bedtime where you are. I reckon it makes a difference in posting,whether you are refreshed and full of coffee or tired and half cut-same with remixing?? I could start a spreadsheet with all members and their timezones but that would be too difficult. maybe there`s a function in the forum software-it probably knows where I am anyway. or am I just bored and passing the time here? who knows............. edit:i just found this: "At the specified time, local time in New York was 16 hours behind Melbourne" makes me wonder why if we were always ahead of America why did we feel so far behind for so long-culturally speaking. ...............

Being ahead or behind is a state of mind. Did you travel East or West to get from where you were to where you are?

International communication would be so much simpler if we'd all just adopt a universal clock. GMT would be fine. It works for the military.
It would also get rid of that pesky International Date Line, because we'd all be on the same calendar date.
The international date line is very unnatural and disorienting. You travel westward, back in time and chasing the sun, and then bang! it's suddenly tomorrow. Or you travel eastward, into the sun with time accelerating and then bang! it's suddenly yesterday.
When I travel from Seattle to Manila, nighttime never comes but an entire day vanishes. When I subsequently return home, I arrive in Seattle at the same hour and date that I departed Manila, despite 19 hours' travel time.
 All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to. My Stuff

When I was in the military, TOD was anything but simple. We were always tracking multiple times. GMT, time at home, local time and time at the port we were deployed from. And if we were going into a port other than the one we deployed from, we started tracking TOD there too long before arrival. To make matters worse, we operated on an 18 hour day. I hated it. But I wouldn't trade the experience for anything. Well, maybe the $B+ lottery ...

I had a friend in college who simplified this problem nicely. I was Army; he was Air Force, one of the last avionics techs certified across multiple aircraft, and traveled all over the world. He had two times, that's all of a commitment I could ever get out of him. ME: "Hey, Paul, when are you gonna pick me up?" Paul: "Dark-thirty" That was it, either "light-thirty" or "dark-thirty". Worked for us, since we both hated watches and refused to wear them!
