Yes… It messes up the TV schedule with NFL games. Last week’s 10:00am (Pacific Time game) will now air at 11:00am and the 1:00pm game starts at 2:00pm

The Sunday Night game is the real kicker as halftime is no longer at approximately 6:30pm and Sunshine doesn’t want to wait until 7:30pm for her dinner at Halftime.

Oh, the sportsballing consequences don’t bother me in the least. Just the whole bio-rhythm schedule gets messed up for me :frowning:

Yes… when I lived on the East Coast, it was a pain. Especially, when I had to get up early for work. My body didn’t like the adjustment.

Arizona

If I recall correctly, Arizona allows for local regulation of non/compliance regarding DST. Add to that the fact that a number of large tribal reservations have their own thoughts, you get situations like some localities having time that is off by a half-hour. Or one where a town is in a reservation in a county in the state and each one has a differing law, so you can go through 3 or .4 time changes over the course of 20 miles.

Considering the whole thing was a product of a largely agricultural economy that hasn’t been relevant for the last 50 years at minimum, I’m surprised it isn’t dead already.

That seems like it would make appointments/meetings rather difficult…

Yes… I had a friend/neighbor that was Navajo and he mentioned something about DST and how it was all screwed up on the reservations.

There is some farming on the reservations (ie Pima Cotton on the Pima reservation and some fruit production on other Native American land), but I haven’t really researched all of the agricultural activity on the various reservations.

I’ve heard of a number of schools that are going to more year round instruction, shortening the summer break and spreading the days out among sprring, winter and other days off. Unsurprisingly, changes to the status quo generate push back, both reasonable and less so.

Credit where credit is due: it’s a classic Steven Wright joke.

I love Steve from In Otter News. He is a bit of a lush, however, and rarely pays his bill at the local pubs. :wink:
