  Armstrong Texas Washington D.C.
shot 5:30 PM 6:30 PM
sunset 6:15 PM 7:15 PM
Card call 6:30 PM 7:30 PM
Rove call 7:00 PM 8:00 PM
hospital 8:15 PM 9:15 PM
 
One blog post was tempting, questioning why it took from 5:30 PM until 8:15 PM to get to the hospital, 85 miles away [2 hours and 45 minutes].  He proposed that perhaps they were shooting quail after sundown [sunset in Armstrong Texas was at 6:15 PM on Feb. 11th]. But he forgot about the time zones, which made the disparity in the timeline less strange.
 
Nevertheless, it’s still a decent point. If the call to Washington were immediate [which seems likely since they weren’t even sure what happened and who shot who on that first call], it is possible that they were hunting at or maybe shortly after sunset. That would make the story make more sense as to why Cheney wouldn’t have seen Harry Whittington.
 
Oh, the joy of amateur sleuthing…
