Eastern Standard Time = GMT -5 (EDT -4)
Central Standard = GMT -6
Mountain Standard = GMT -7
Pacific Standard = GMT - 8
I think Hawaii is GMT -10 or 11.

You think resetting all your clocks is a pain - try remembering whether you have to add 4 hours or 5 when you have to work in GMT...

Of course, now that you've said that you have to work in GMT, heh heh [;)][:)]...I'm curious..heh heh..[;)][:)]....what work do you do that requires working in GMT? Is it to do with the U.K.? [;)]

(Hawaii is that far behind Austrlian Eastern Standard time that most folk here would just ADD about 5 hours (I think), then take off one whole day! [:0] [:0])

Nope - I deal with gov't messaging systems. They all use GMT. Also a weather buff, and sometimes the radar images carry a zulu time, so I have to translate so I know whether it's up to date...

Kozzie,

If you want rain, come to Louisville, KY. We're under a severe t-storm watch until 1 a.m.,
and have already been under severe t-storm warnings since about 8. Even had to go
outside and pick up our 95 gal. garbage can from the middle of the front yard[:0]

Hey Jay! Yes! [(-D] hee hee I am already in your tomorrow! [:-,] It's Wednesday down under, and I'm just thinking about what to have for lunch! Yum! [C=:-)][dinner]

Before you have a yarn with the President, I think it's something to do with that mischevous little line that runs basically north south on the Pacific Ocean with the grand title of "International Date Line". And we are on the tomorrow side! [:-,] hee hee [(-D]

Cherokee Woman - no storms please - just rain...[:p] [:)] thanks very much! Anytime will do, preferably sooner...[;)] We get some real beauties of storms in our summer too.

Stopped in Cincinnati a couple of weeks ago and step-son Russ' lawn was as hard as a rock. Have the storms made it up stream at all?

That would be a semi-yes.

Have got to go out later this morning,to see if we have any damage.

I know other people in certain areas are familiar with this,but WE are
NOT. Some of the newcasters(and other people) have compaired
this last storm we had tonight,with the 1974 Tornado(in respect to damage)
We had a couple of power interuptions,but otherwise not too bad.
The last Iheard on TV,in certain parts of the county,about 80,000 people
were without power. And they did say,some of them might not get it for about
a week,due to all the trees,lines,etcdown.[:(]

Wed morning - coffee on - still no air here at work. It isn't unbearable - just very sticky.

1/2 day again - we do more time off than we do work! 1/2 day again on Friday. No wonder I am always so behind. I don't appreciate it, since I don't play golf!

Breakfast....ugh. I am out of ideas. However, you can submit your most unusual breakfast - mine would be cold pizza. Yum. However, I have served a chocolate chip waffle with vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup. That was a toughie. Kept wanting to .....well, let's just say it made me a little queasy. And could never get past a peanut butter and banana omelette.

Excuse me - think I need to go down the hall...

I'll call on a friend with Native American roots to see if he can do a rain dance for you.

Loco in the profile is an S-2 Berkshire (NKP) at the Pennsylvania Transportation Museum in Strasburg. I've got pictures of myself with 4 or 5 Berks. Call it a mission... Now if I can just catch a ride behind one.

Mookie,

Guess the weirdest thing I've ever eaten for breakfast is: chilli. Would eat it for breakfast when I was a kid. Mama thought I was CRAZY!!

Cold Pizza is fine with me. Don't worry, I'll be on mudchicken patrol for about fifteen minutes, after that your on your own. I've eaten a darn lot of things for breakfest. I don't feel like making those freezer pancakes, so I just grab yesterdays leftovers.

Kozzie,
If we could ship it to you,you could have had all the rain we had last night.
I wouldn't wi***he 80mph winds off on you,but depending on where you
live around here,we got 3-5" of rain.

Thanks for info on the Berk. I reckon they look great. I drool when I think of the Bachmann Spectrum models...

Thanks for the good wishes, 3 - 5 inches sounds good. By the way, can you ask Cherokee Woman if she got my email?
