Often in hotels, airports, museums, and maybe trendy restuarants you'll see a series of clocks with various times from major cities around the world. Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, London, Paris, Hong Kong, etc. tend to be popular choices to represent the time zones that dot the globe.
Today we went into one of places we frequent for haircuts, massages, pedicures, etc. and noticed they had done a little remodeling. A fresh coat of paint and new accessories adorned the friendly salon. One of the more curious new additions was a series of three clocks above a doorway. Sidney and Shanghai occupied the two clocks on the left, which makes sense because the employees are all Chinese and many of the clientele hail from either the U.S. or Australia. The third clock, however, contained a very interesting choice to represent time zones in the U.S. ... Boise. Now, we don't know about you, but we can honestly say no matter where we've been, we have NEVER scratched our heads and thought, "Man, I wonder what time it is in Idaho right now."
