Mechanics of New Year's
So when they drop the ball in NYC, obviously they do it at midnight Eastern time.
So when we watch that on TV here in the midwest, it's actually 1 AM in NYC.
Either they drop the ball several times, or everybody west of Eastern Time is watching reruns.
Just seems odd that we huddle about the TV for a few seconds to watch what others sw an hour ago.
