TimeZones: A World Wide Puzzle

If you've ever noticed, the entire world fits together several ways as a puzzle. Land and water pieces, land and land pieces, city and country pieces, timezone pieces, people pieces, you get the point. I've been especially fascinated by timezones since high school, where they clicked right into place in my head. Like a puzzle piece that was missing. I still have to look them up from time to time, but I can remember most of them. Since joining myLot, I've made friends all over the world. Some in Canada, some in the States (in different states than mine), some in Britain, some other places. So here's my question: Which timezone are you in? I don't care about your specific city unless you just want to tell everyone, and I certainly DO NOT want your street address! I just want to know which timezone you are in so that when I'm talking to you on here, I know what time it is there. I'll even answer my own question, for those of you that are as interested as I. I am in the New York/Atlanta/Miami timezone, also known as "Eastern Standard Time" or "GMT -5", and we are currently in active Daylight Savings Time. It is Monday, March 10, and when it's 5:00pm in London, it's 1:00pm here. An interesting timezone website is TimeandDate.com/worldclock in case anyone else is interested. This is strictly for curiosity's sake, and no one is under any obligation whatsoever to reply.

I am in the same timezone with you. Here in the great tax state of Maryland.
