For those who don't heed every newscaster's and radio DJ's reminders, this is a public service announcement to remember to turn your clock's back one hour tonight for daylight savings time. In case you have been brought up in a cave, CNN has this friendly "explainer" (no joke, they call it an expainer- is that even a word? I thought the correct word is explanation) of this.
An interesting tidbit of info: the time change is not taking place in Arizona, Hawaii, the part of Indiana in the Eastern time zone, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and American Samoa. All stay on standard time year round. Who knew?

To assure that they'll have a good taste of having daylight/twilight later in the evening if the government allow to use DST which means still on the MST. However, since Arizona do not observe DST which means they are on California time (PST) will get dark early and California will still have daylight a little while longer. If Arizonas were smart enough, they can tell the local government to move the clock 1 hour foward and still be on MST, not on PST. The Indian Reservation do observe daylight savings is on MST and the rest of the state is on PST. You may want to check on www.sunrisesunset.com and most of USA have daylight after 8pm. Best if the people in the state of Arizona to persuade the government or vote.
