Thanks for reminding me. Now I have to find my owner's manual for my clock, I'm not sure I know how to set the time because this clock is so fancy. I tell them I want a clock radio for x-mas and they buy the fanciest one in the store so I don't know how to set it. Oh well, at least it isn't the buzzing that wakes me up because that would ruin my whole day. Funny fact, when I hear that sound on the TV or radio body tenses up. I hate that sound so much!

Crazy!  So it seems arizona is the only state that seems to realize how utterly ridiculous it is to change the time on your clock to "gain" daylight?!

You can go through life being scared of the possible, or you can have a little fun and tease the inevitable.

I think parts of Indiana do/don't, Hawaii and Alaska are on standard time all year. We don't here in Az, but we still have to adjust...unless you don't know anyone or listen to a radio show from the outside world. Besides, we may not have a lot of water but we've got plenty-o-sunshine. This is the only place I've ever lived where people go outside to stand in the rain when monsoons come in the summer!

This is the first year that Indiana will be part of the DST!  That's what I've read, and a little trivial fact is that we are observing DST a couple weeks earlier (spring) and later (fall) this year!  In order to give us more afternoon light so we use less electricity!

hahahaha thats how it is here in Vegas too. I lived in sacramento for 15 years and missouri for 2 so I am accustomed to rain. but these desert people think its so freakin interesting when water falls from the sky.

Thanks for that, i was really not liking the time change till I read that!
I'd like to quit thinking of the present as some minor insignificant preamble to something else~~~~~
