Daylight Savings Time
For those of you keeping score at home, most people in the United States set their clocks back an hour today, making it possible to go to work and return home in complete darkness. However not all of the U.S. plays this idiotic little game.
Daylight Saving Time is NOT observed in Arizona, Hawaii, most of the Eastern Time Zone portion of Indiana, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands. The Navajo Nation, however, participates in the Daylight Saving Time policy, even in Arizona, due to its large size and location in three states.
Indiana, however, passed a law in April of 2005 adopting DST for the entire state, beginning in 2006. The United States, excited by the news, promptly passed a law in August of 2005 extending the Daylight Savings Time. Beginning in 2007, DST will start the second Sunday of March and end on the first Sunday of November.
Thanks for playing.
