Wow, weird seeing Alaska referred to as the "west coast."
Just to avoid any unnecessary confusion, what most American's think of as the west coast, California, Oregon, and Washington (the western most states of the contiguous USA) is actually -8 GMT = 11 PST (Pacific Standard Time). Alaska is out there on its own, closer to Russia than it is to any US state so, it has it's own goofy time zone AKST (Alaska Standard Time).
Same goes for Hawaii which is even further behind GMT than Alaska at -10 GMT.
The only thing that ever messes me up is when stupid daylight savings time throws everything off. (Thank you Benjamin Franklin.) *shakes fist*
See LigH not all US people are ignorant.
Now stop making generalizations!
*re-reads LigH's post*
Or was that some type of shot at "little US people" and how due to their small stature they should be kept in the dark about American history? Either way you should be ashamed of yourself!
