Ughh... Daylight Savings Time...
Two times a year where I can mess up the time adjustments. Spring forward, Fall back, right? This simple adjustment of time should not be so confusing and complicated, should it. Wish I had those clocks that set themselves using a radio frequency that's sent from the Atomic Clock in Boulder, Colorado. Ain't technology grand? It's convenient to have the correct time displayed on the cable box. I understand the purpose of DST, but... I still haven't grasped the concept of time. Just what is it and... why does there seem there's never enough of it? I've spent approximately two minutes and thirteen seconds pondering time. Make that two minutes and fourteen... fifteen... sixteen... Has anyone seen the fim, "Contact"? Dr. Arroway travels through a wormhole and then returns to earth. She experiences several hours while everyone else on earth, only a few short seconds. This is the reversal of Einstein's theory, yes? What was the idea behind this? I read the book that the film is based on, by Carl Sagan, but I don't recall any explanation about this in the novel. The only song I recall about the subject of time is by Pink Floyd, called, appropriately, "Time." Anyone know of any other songs about time? Hmmm... I think there's a song by They Might Be Giants, about time. Still pondering what time is and what to do with my time here. Eventually, I will start pondering about pondering, so I better end this before I start "Hijacking'' my own post. Well, I've spent enough time writing about time. Time to post this post regarding time. Goodbye. -Ray |

Hello, fayerody.
Arizona does not want to follow DST? Can't rebel against time, but you can fight against how it's set. Who would be an ideal lawyer to take on this case. Sounds interesting. -Ray |

yup! they refused to change their clocks when this all came about! i used to live in New Mexico, their neighbor to the east, and it was sometimes frustrating to call an Arizona business...cause their time was more than different from ours.....it was weird........i went to an Indian rodeo one time and actually ended up being two hours late.......and i'm NEVER late for anything....they had a really wild Governor in those days and i'm afraid that i can't remember his story or her???

How odd. Why fight against this established system? What's to be gained? I dunno.
Most peculiar. |

You ended up two hours late for an event? That's so oddly funny! Good thing it was a leisurely event, yes?
Students could use the DST defense to justify their tardiness to school. Time travel is possible! Wow! What would Einstein think of this? |

Soon there will be a full scale rebellion. Then what do we do? Who will be in control of time in this country???
Hmm... thinking of a title for a major motion picture... |

DST -- This is an idea appropriate to agrarian society -- and we ain't. Needs to be abandoned. Or maybe we should all migrate to Arizona and parts of Indiana.
