That's right! AZ doesn't observe it. You just have to know that you will be either with PST or MST.

Same here, When I was growing up in Indiana (That was before Indiana had the law passed to change the DST - Just know that it was either with CST or EST), It didn't change and I had never experienced the changing of the clock until I moved to Kentucky later on in my teen years. It was kind of weird at first but then, I got accustomed to it.
 
Look at it this way - unlike Alaska (or any country along the Arctic Circle), at least our day does not start at 10am and ends at 2pm! LOL
 
Ooh... I'll have to remember that.

At least, I can get an extra hour of sleep tonight. ;)

Wisconsin and other Midwestern states aren't that much different from Alaska in terms of the amount of sunlight received during the day. It starts to get light out at 9 a.m. and is completely dark by 4 p.m.

Here in FL where I am, we get light around 7am. It gets dark by about 7:30 or 8pm.

I would love to live in Florida OB. The only thing that's stopping me from relocating there are the hurricanes you have.

You're NOT kidding! I'm in the Keys. Nice this time of year but hurricane season is NO JOKE!

My parents used to visit Florida all the time and the Keys were one of their favorite places to visit. Just beautiful.

I've seen how bad the hurricane season can be in Florida. That's one of the reasons why I'm moving to Arizona instead. :giggle:

That's true. I lived in Wisconsin for 17 years, and in Minnesota for 5 years before I moved down here, and it always got dark so early, and that sucked. I love sunlight. Shorter days and less sunlight are depressing for me. All I wanted to do was stay inside, curl up with my cats and watch TV.

I moved out of Phoenix because of 120+ degree heat - wouldn't mind getting a cool down from a hurricane.

How ironic because that's exactly where I plan to move. I'm not bothered by 100+ degree heat.

Besides, I'm more of a hot weather person than a cold weather person. I'd rather have 100+ degree temperatures instead of subzero temperatures with ice, sleet and snow.

As for hurricanes, I've seen how dangerous they can be and there's absolutely *no* way I would want to live in an area affected by them.

I get extremely depressed this time of year because of the lack of sunlight. Even though I can't see, it still affects me because I don't like the cold, nor do I like traveling when it's dark outside. My mood tends to improve around March when the temperatures begin to warm up, but as I said in my previous post, I'm more of a hot weather person than a cold weather person. Also, when I visited Tucson several years ago during the month of December, we had mostly sunny weather with temperatures in the 70s for the entire week I was there. It was delightful and did wonders for my mood!
 
The DST-Standard Time changeovers drive me batty all times. I hate changing the clocks on my computer, my car, my watch and anything that tells time.

Even worse Im so pissed cuz my Casio TimeCeptor watch is supposed to be automatically linked to the atomic clock in Colorado with EST to DST changeover via a radio built into the watch. It hadnt changed back to EST by that time it was supposed to link itself to the Colorado clock at 12AM that Sunday, that I had to change over to the Chicago time on its World time feature.
