Okay, here's a challenge for a list member living in or visiting southern Nevada or northern Arizona. Drive out to Hoover Dam. The Arizona/Nevada border runs right down the middle of the Colorado river. The two states are in different time zones (Pacific for Nevada, Mountain for Arizona). Plus Arizona does not observe Daylight time. (The time zone difference is uniquely emphasized by clocks at either end of the dam showing local time.) US highway 93 runs right across the top of the dam. It would be an interesting experiment to track cell phone time display whilst driving across the dam... Lu Abel
