I think you mean that the TV schedules are really screwed up in
Arizona, Scott :o). The fact that we don't observe Daylight Savings
Time here makes perfect sense: The one thing we DON'T need is more
daylight in the summer. Plus travel to the West Coast states is really
nifty because one doesn't have to change one's watch in the summer. 

The Navajo Reservation in Arizona does observe DST, however. This
causes problems for tourists, but makes perfect sense to the Navajos
because their Reservation (which extends into Utah and New Mexico) in
areas that use the daylight savings times offsets. They know what time
it is anywhere on the Rez, even if we don't.

As for the problem with TV schedules, I solve that by not watching it.

Cheers
