Well.... The writers needed help with their geography. Deerborn County (anywhere in Deerborn County) is within 30 minute to 1 hour drive to a major airport. You have the Nothern Ky/Greater Cincinnati International Airport--a hub for Delta and supporting more than 10 other airlines (with no less than 15 daily flights to D.C.). Or you have the Dayton International Airport which is a secondary hub to US Air. And 1½-2 hours from the Indianapolis International Airport. Also within a 2 hour drive you have Ft. Wayne, In, Columbus, Oh, Louisville, Ky and maybe even Lexington, KY (after you drive past CVG!).
Interstate 74 and U.S. RT 52 run through Deerborn county, IN (And Connersville--where they caught the train--which runs through Dayton, Columbus, OH and Indianapolis) and at its furthest point, you can get to Downtown Cncinnati within 45 minutes.
What they did get right is that Deerborn county DOES observe Daylight savings time while most of the rest of the state does not! When Josh went banannas and started asking "What do commuters do? Change their watches everytime they drive back and forth?" was funny. But Deerborn County observes Daylight savings time exactly because they DON'T want to change their watches back and forth when they do business with Cincinnati. Most of the Deerborn county population either works in Ohio or is linked more to Ohio than to the rest of Indiana. BTW Ohio County, In and some...yes only some of Switzerland County, IN also observe the "devil's time" for the same reason. And...there are no military bases in that area (Unless you count the bombing range in Madison County.)
So...I liked the episode anyway. But GET A MAP guys!
Not that it's a surprise, but I like the fact that Lilly Tomlin is coming back to TV. So, I wonder if when he makes a call for the President she will say "One ringy-dingy.....Two...Oh hello...is this the person to whom I am speaking?"
See ya

My Brother lives in Indiana and I have given up trying to figure out what time it is when I call him. I just love the fact that they had the tantrums in front of the girls on bikes. Added to the insanity of the scene
