No matter the reason, Calibelle . . . Arizona's policy MAKES NO SENSE WHATSOEVER.

Many years ago when this "goofy" decision was made, the nation was not linked as closely as it is today. Now, due to jet travel, unlimited long distance and the internet (thanks to Al Gore) the state boundaries are much less defined.

Daylight Savings Time or NOT is not really as important as CONFORMITY and/or CONSISTENCY.

Personally, I believe there are more advantages with DST, however, being the ODD GUYS ON THE BLOCK is downright ridiculous.

Start a new thread for this one, Valley Native

Due to the recent crappy weather . . . we all need a good MUG SLINGING BATTLE for indoor entertainment!

That used to be true, but not anymore. The whole state of Indiana now observes DST.

Arizona and Hawaii are the only states that don't observe DST.

Native Americans were probably saying the exact same thing about white settlers 200-300 years ago.
