There'll be no Dec. 30 for them as the nation jumps west of the international date line into a new time zone.



Now I'm confused. Did the nation jump west, or was the date line moved east ?

Think motors. Big outboard motors. It's smaller than Rhode Island, but even still it's taken weeks to drive that little island across the line. Part of the problem is they keep stopping at Tonga and the Cook Islands to pick up more beer.
