The Eternal Struggle Against Time Zones
Let's face it, time zones are the devil's work. Especially when you live in a state that's basically the size of Europe.

It's a daily struggle, people.
Tip: Break it down — section by section.
So, What Time is the Debate?
Okay, okay, I'll cut to the chase. The debate is tonight at [Insert Time]. But hold your horses! That's Pacific Time. If you're in Mountain Time, add an hour. Central Time, add two. And if you're on the East Coast, well, bless your heart, you're going to have to stay up really late.
