Does anybody really know what time it is? Does anyone really care?

No. Yes.

A reminder to all to make sure you know what time the rest of the world thinks it is where you are. Reset everything that doesn't reset automatically.

The dash clock in my Jeep Compass will require no adjustment. I didn't change it in the Spring. All I have to do now is stop adding an hour to what it says.

The clock in my van was 4 hours and 11 minutes fast.
What's it going to be now?

Incorrect.

5 hours and 11 minutes fast as long as you stay in Washington State. Taking it on a cross-country journey would lead to different answers.

That's why we're here, man. To prop up our brothers(sisters) when they need it the most.

So, standing on the South Pole or the North Pole, in what time zone is the person standing?

I think the North Pole is in open water these days and moving this way and that. Perhaps one could float in several time zones at once.

Speaking of "Time", here's a neutered version of a classic:

Two things to note in this clip:

1. The Blue Oyster Cult DID NOT give us "more cowbell", the Chambers Brothers did..
2. That IS NOT Robin Williams playing drums

Fantastic.

So if one was to stand 2 feet from the south pole and run fast in a small circle, would they be running through time?
