Time keeps ticking...

...and for us, it does so without "springing ahead." So if you were thinking of calling us, be sure to note we are currently on Pacific Time! That's right, Arizona and Hawaii (and until April 2006, parts of Indiana!) do not participate in that bi-yearly clock-turning ritual. And, just to make it more confusing - actually, the Navajo Nation in NE Arizona, DOES participate in DST!

OK, to be precise, we're not really on Pacific Time. We're on Mountain Standard Time (MST), not to be confused with Mountain Daylight Time (MDT).

Clear as mud, huh?

Here are some more fun DST tidbits for you...like the story of the twins born at the clock change, so though Twin B came 34 minutes after her brother, Twin A, her official time of birth is 20 minutes EARLIER.

I so very much hate the turning of the clocks. It takes my body a couple weeks to adjust each time they fool with the clock. I would vote for leaving the time alone already. Thanks for the info on this absurd ritual.
