Yeah, you are.

One other thought comes to mind.  Is there a guarantee that a timezone can't
split a zipcode?

In other words, is the mapping from zipcode->timezone guaranteed to exist in
all cases?

I remember a friend in Tennessee who would take her children to school (10
miles away) and the school was in a different timezone than her home, so it
got very confusing what time the kids had to be up and to bed and all that.

In rural areas where the zipcodes can be rather large, I'm just wondering if
there is any guarantee that a zipcode can't span two timzones.
