FW: [Meticulous] and well researched article on Alaska time zones

[Aaron Brown]

Entering "Little Diomede Island, Alaska" into google maps shows Little
Diomede island to be around 170 W, which is 35 degrees west of 135
degrees west, which is 2:20 off of the meridian of the time zone.  So,
it should be 2:20 during the winter and 3:20 during the summer, not
3:20 and 4:20 as the article states.
