# What I'm curious about is how we're distributed inside of our time zones, because the further east you are inside of a time zone, the harder standard time hits. Boston's sunset is 4:34pm today. Brutal. Detroit's sunset, on the other side of the same time zone, is 5:22pm.


# I'm a big fan of Jon Lovett's podcasts, and I love trying new things in R, so it was Game On when I saw the tweet above. I googled around and combined a few data sources to get US counties' populations, coordinates, sunsets, and time zones. From those you can see who has it worst in the evenings when standard time kicks in. 

# Curiously, big cities in the US tend to be on the east, "darker evening" end of their time zones.
