Suppose something's happening on the West Coast, and you've got to do something at the same time on the West Coast or somewhere else in the country ...
(I almost put up a map that describes the time-zones with
a '-#' (which I think is the time-zone's "difference from Coordinated
Universal Time), but that didn't translate so well ... didn't tell me,
"So when it's 12:00 in the Pacific zone, it's 1:00 in the Mountain-,
2:00 in the Central- or 3:00 in the Eastern zone.")
2:00 in the Central- or 3:00 in the Eastern zone.")
'That word' (below-hyperlinked to TimeAndDate's explanation of time-zones) is built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...
The word “Zone” is built on ancient words that mean "to |Gird" (|Girt with a |Girdle |Belt Worn on Women's |Hips, Celestial Area, Geographic Strip ... originally of the Five Great Divisions of Earth's Surface—the Equatorial |Torrid Zone, the Tropics of Cancer's & -Capricorn's Temperate Zones, & the |Frigid Zones of the Arctic- & Antarctic Circles).
For time-zones all around the world (though different countries count their time differently than 'the meridians' say they should)

I appreciate your comment, and I'll probably approve it & publish it soon (give me about a week before you try to post it again when it doesn't publish immediately ... thanks)
