    Those lines need to be adjusted away from state borders. Those also cause problems.

          Why is that. A problem? You have to have the line somewhere. It’s better if it goes along an already existing imaginary line. If they didn’t line up, you would need to remember sets of arbitrary lines instead of 1.

            I’m just saying that the natural borders of light don’t correlate with the borders of the state In some cases really skew the time.
