not much from the Mountain time zone, woulda liked a few more answers from there as that’s the one I have the hardest time with.

At least I remember hearing that, I don’t know the whole story, which is why it would have made a great trick question.

Ironically Ontario, Oregon and Pensacola, Florida are only 1 hour difference in time. Ontario is in the Mountain time zone and Pensacola in the Central time zone.

ouch, not quite as good at geography as I remember. It would be fun to see a map of where all these are – and the time zones. I could see how often I went back and forth the wrong way.
