I hope you didn't mind the loss of that hour.

If you did, and do, you may want to consider moving to Arizona. There
is no DST in Arizona. Well, that isn't actually true since the Diné
Nation does observe DST. That means the most of NE Arizona does fall
under DST. A significant exception in terms of geography but
insignificant in terms of percent of population.

So, unless you wish to live with the Diné, come to Arizona and enjoy
the DST-free zone.

I happen to love the extra hour of daylight in the evenings,
especially during the summer. But, then it rarely gets in the triple
digits around here.

Bets,

I don't think there is such a thing as a Diné Nation. Diné is the Navajo
word for people. If you ask a Navajo what his tribal affiliation is, he
will simply tell you "I am diné," meaning he is one of the people.

That's a most interesting piece of info, Barb, but I was just pointing
out that I like DST.
