Many years ago USPS provided a data stream that included every sorting machine operation a mail piece went through, the location it occurred (zip code), and the local time (sans timezone information). That was an absolute nightmare of a project that always had a few weekly cases of letters somehow time-traveling. Also, I was surprised to learn that there are sort facilities on tribal lands - I was not surprised to learn that they elected to record time differently from the state that surrounded them.
