[Fictionary] SLEECH reminder

PA> I recently visited California, stopping in Phoenix. That got me
PA> thinking. We have four time zones in the Lower 48, called Eastern,
PA> Central, Mountain, and Pacific. Eastern and Pacific are clear enough, but:
PA> *How can one of four equally spaced things be central?

Well, they're not equally spaced -- by miles, Central is somewhat more
central than anything else, and by number of states, there are actually
more states in the one time zone *east* of Central than in the two time
zones west of Central.

PA> *There are mountains in the east and mountains in the west.

As others have pointed out, not big ones. :^)
