My state is the next stop on the candidate tour, as the Nevada caucuses are February 20. I was initially worried that I'd have to go clear to Yerrington, the county seat, to participate, but there are precincts in Fernley as well. This will be my first time voting in a caucus state, having been a Californian all my life through the previous presidential cycle.
Lisa periodically says she wants to abolish time zones and use UTC for everything, but I agree with you that it would cause more problems than it solves.
I've noticed in my Day Jobbe dealing with supplier data from various sources that in some respects I think that Apple, Microsoft, Google, and other US west coast tech giants want to make US Pacific Time the de facto world standard time, for their convenience.
Regarding calendar reform: I rather thought that Tolkien's Shire calendar was a nearly ideal solution, including the fact that one day per year (plus leap year day) would have no weekday name, so you'd always be able to use the same calendar every year.
