Interesting tidbits.........Benjamin Franklin came up with Daylight Savings time..........and......a railroader came up with Time Zones......Sir Stanford Flemming (might have the name mispelt) worked for the Canadian Pacific.....he wanted to make things easier for them. At one time, every town and city kept its own time (sometimes it would shift five minutes when you went to a neighboring town), and every railroad had a clock for each town......stations served by more than one would have several clocks, and heaven help the poor soul who checked the wrong clock and missed the train! <br /> <br />~Ra'akone
