Eastern War Time, the early beginning of Daylight time. Railroad Time, each railroad set its own time based on location and destination. The International Date Line “the imaginary line on the Earth that separates two consecutive calendar days”, which if you could stand precisely in the middle of, you would be neither in yesterday or tomorrow.
What they haven’t named yet is ‘Airline Time’, you know the time lost waiting in line, flight delays, sitting on the runway, circling for a landing and finding your luggage. And last but not least ‘Blog Time’, you will notice this blog has never received any comments and therefore the blog time is nearly indeterminate.
