No Daylight Savings Time in Arizona
I remember I ask someone why AZ didn't use Daylight Saving and I quote "why spend a extra hour in the HEAT"

It seems many states would prefer to just stay on daylight savings time...29 states at last count.
Just as long as they do away with the back and forth non-sense.

Then it wouldn't be brighter longer at night in the summer.
Conversely, it wouldn't be brighter earlier in the morning in winter.
Takes me just as long to re-program the clocks after a power interruption as it does changing from DST, just a different hour number is used.

Yes, it would be like it has been through the entire history on man until 1966.
One hour shift permanently if we adopted dst full time.
It's a choice...but both are better than what we have now...and safer.

No daylight saving time anywhere. It is a misnomer. There are X number of daylight hours/minutes/seconds in any given day, whether you count sunrise as 8 or 9 or whatever. I'm fairly sure a politician thought up the title.

[quote=jerryc41]How's this for a crazy idea? A guy on YouTube has a video in which he explains why we shouldn't have time zones. Instead, the whole world should use UTC/Zulu/Greenwich time. Theoretically, it makes sense - except for the rotation of the earth - and darkness. He said that instead of going to work from 9:00 - 5:00, New Yorkers would work from 2:00 - 10:00 PM. Yeah, that's going to work. [:quote:]
I recall reading that that is how China does it. One time zone. No problems scheduling meetings (telephone-conferences) between locations anywhere in the country.
I remember having to schedule a phone conference call from our US subsidiary with the UK home office. And on the same day with a supplier in Japan. Made for a very long day.

I tend to look at my 7-day pill box and see which is the last empty one . . .

Right on! What's even worse is when you have more than one clock in the house. You can never be sure what time it is.

Daylight savings time is a biannual reminder that your govt. is incompetent.
It is NOT a biannual event. 'Biannual' means every two years.

How does implementing DST make the government incompetent?
It's simply a time shift to have daylight at a different time, ie. later into the evening.
What's interesting is how people accommodate living at the edge of a time zone, not in the middle of one.

Nope. Electing incompetents makes the government incompetent.

Remember that time zones, like national borders, and religion, are man made, and represent an attempt to help those unable to comprehend reality function as least partially.

I used to do that, but all the letters have worn off the little boxes.
I can't remember what the day for each color is!
