Time Change

If you live in the eastern part of the US and were on Eastern Standard Time, be sure to set your clocks FORWARD tonight at bedtime for the start of Daylight Savings Time (yay!). More importantly, change the batteries in your smoke/fire detectors.

Howard, this is true all over the country. We all set our clocks ahead in Spring & back 1 hour in fall. There is one state that does not change their time. Anyone know??

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OK, anyone from that state will say - it is Arizona. And only the western half of Pennsylvania does not honor this (last I heard).

Yes, its that wonderful time of year that Arizona, Nevada, and Utah are all in different time zones.

Anyone for a Thyme change? Try the cultivar "Mother of Thyme".

So legislators in Arizona, Nevada, and Utah have enough presence of mind not to follow the rest of the country!!! Good for them and their States!!!

Nope, instead you have:
Nevada -- PDT (pacific daylight time)
Utah -- MDT
Arizona -- PST

It makes trips to the north rim of the Grand Canyon more interesting!

Or, like Ecuador which has no use for time changes, you could panic about it because your computer still thinks it's in Toronto! Stoopid computer.
