A favorite puzzle of mine. No hidden meanings, no play on words. States in USA. If you know, please let others try first. :D

WE HAVE A WINNER! CULE_DOOD HAS SOLVED IT! 

Yes, folks, a portion of Oregon is in the Mountain Time Zone and a portion of Florinda is in the neighboring Central Time Zone, as shown in CULE_DOOD's excellent illustration. These time zones share the same time during the switch back from Daylight Time to Standard Time each Autumn.

I don't know it, but I have a guess: one of the ladies is currently on vacation in the timezone of the other lady.

Nice thinking, but no. They are both home. It does have something to do with time zones, though.

No, it's two states on either ocean. Texas is between them. It's big, but not THAT big!

No. It's the same time in both places. Good thinking, though.

HINT: It happened in the very early AM

Panama used to be a United States territory. Perhaps this was in 1903 or earlier?

That is thinking outside the box! I like it. But, no. In fact, it could not have happened until at least 15 years later.

Oh! They could be calling each other from any state before March, 19th, 1918 and still be in the same time.

LOL good answer, but no. During this call, it is actually the same time on both of their phones.

Cool, Dude! (see what I did there?)

Sure, go for it. But only if you can explain how you got the answer.

I know you can solve this; there are no tricky metaphors or hidden facts.

This is a true story of what happened very early one autumn morning.

Remember, it has to do with time and geography.

With the right map and the hints in these comments you can solve this.
