Thanks for all the points and it is useful to think about the rails time not having time_of_day. I still am not sure my problem was clear. It seems to me that there should at least be a :emulate_datetime => false sort of option like with booleans, ex.
ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::MysqlAdapter.emulate_booleans = false The table simply holds 21:25:42, but activerecord retrieves the information in the AR Hash as time => "2000-01-01 21:25:42" Where then does date, 2000-01-01 come from? It looks to me like rails is just guessing, Shouldn't thee be a way for it to retreive time as a string, time=> "2001-01-01" ? I think the last suggestion from Alpha Blue will have to be my current solution, don't use the mysql time object and instead use a string.
