Spring forward into Micro Time Zones! Yes, Sunday morning we lose the one-hour of sleep, but gain an extra hour of sunlight in the evening. Now Verbal Jazz's evening runs can be on actual roads instead of the track. But I digress. Verbal Jazz proposes that we change the whole time-zone structure to include "micro time zones:" come up with a certain distance that two points differ by a second (one mile? Two?) and adjust them accordingly. Thus Boston and New York could be, say 15 minutes apart in their time zones, as opposed to being in the same time zone. Go on! Tell me you love this idea.
