Nope... Since it will always be today, yesterday always has to be yesterday. Tomorrow therefore has to still be tomorrow. And that goes worldwide.

Today is yesterday's tomorrow! but is it? Since it's a TOday does that mean it encompasses more than one day? So if that's the explaination then yesterday and the current day are the same. Cause I know tomorrow never comes it's always today so it can't be that it's the current day and tomorrow.

Must go now befor the bad pun police ketch me. Raise the sails and motor on OH great hog.

Stay tuned for the story of Pungent and Pundit the dog - in progress.

Today is a moving wave front of chronologic perceptions that is constantly with the one who is perceiving it. Therefore, your today may be different than the today of someone else who is geographically removed.

Personally, my today will be 20 Jan 09 up until 12:01 PM, at which time, it will start reshaping according to a more conventional frame of reference.

Might I recommend Umberto Eco's 'The Island of the Day Before'? It's a novel set on the International Dateline.

I think that some of you may well like it.
