The Droids in Arizona (at least for my friends) shifted time. The horror. Chaos I tell you. Chaos.
edit: by droids, I mean the devices. I'm not calling folks in Arizona droids!

Arizona is on California Time now. How cutting-edge is that?

The sun sets one hour (more or less) later on the west side of a time zone than the east side of the time zone. If you like more sun in the evenings live on the west side of the time zone, especially one with a big extension to the west like in southwest Idaho to southeast Oregon. The entire west side of the Central Time Zone has a very late setting sun, esp. SW Texas.

When I was a kid, Nixon had us on DST for an entire year. We set the clocks forward, and we never got that hour back.

Indianapolis doesn't participate either does it?
edit:
I can't find evidence of this now. I see that Indiana just started participating a few years ago. Maybe that is where I got this notion.

We lose an hour tomorrow, but it gets darker later which means more time to climb after work!
Until yesterday I always thought it was Daylight Savings time. Actually, Daylight Saving Time.

We have daylight savings and the standard system of measurement because we are a God fearing farmer nation who hate gays and love guns.
'Murica! Thanks guys!

tji, did you hear the same piece on 'Press Play' yesterday about the history of Daylight Saving Time?
Interesting clarifications, there: It's 'Saving' Time (not Savings), and contrary to popular belief, the farming interests have never been particularly keen on DST, as it reduces the amount of daylight hours they have to get their products to market.
Various retail interests, however, tend to support DST, as spending behaviors are more inclined during daylight hours, at the end of the day.
Given that we are now at 8 months/year under DST, this is basically our standard time- and continued expansion of DST is likely, too.
LEAVE THE CLOCK ALONE.
Thank you.

No apogee, Bob and Tom clarified the "s" for me. The press play sounds like it was more informative.

Party members here are cracking me up. The very act of messing with your clock comes across as democrats to me so let's check the facts.
The uniform time act of 1966 was signed by a democrat with a legislative branch fully controlled by the democrats. This act was based on the standard time act of 1918 which was signed by......you got it, the same war monger we all know as prez Wilson, a democrat.
Sure, now that the party has unified both sides have messed with it but the foundation of dst is war and democrats.
Come on people, throw away the clocks and get outdoors.
Aloha,
Will
