If This Happens, I am SO Moving Home!
Members of the State and Local Government Committee unanimously endorsed a bill that, if approved by voters, would put Maine on Atlantic time along with Canada's Maritime Provinces.
Excuse me? Will we have to "A" after every sentence too? At least they aren't suggesting we learn French, for Quebec is in the Eastern Time Zone. Maybe we will have to learn Spanish though, Puerto Rico is in Atlantic time.
Oh and get this quote from the Herald...
Steve Thaxton, president and general manager of WCSH-TV in Portland, said he thinks it's a great idea. Morning programming already rules in Maine, he said, and the time shift would give stations another early slot.
"The upside, particularly for us, is much greater than the downside," said Thaxton.
I dunno, I'm more of a night person...I think morning programming sucks, I mean who needs to see more of those infomercrials for Oxyclean or those space bags you put your clothes in and vacuum out the air. That stuff is always on 2am -6am. And the crap that follows it isn't usually much better.
The only upside is that they would eliminate Daylight Savings Yime. So Maine would be 1 hour ahead of the rest of the country, but when the clocks go back in Eastern Time, and they gain an hour...we'd be at the same time for 5 months.
I can't imagine driving home to see family and having to deal with changing my clock during the drive. And to think the 5 1/2 hour trip would be 4 1/2 hours to NJ and 6 1/2 back.
