Don't know if there are many of you on the board....but, WTF....is the whole zone boycotting daylight savings or something??? I had to come in early this am for a conference call scheduled for 8:30 Mountain Time. So I (living and working in The OC) came in at 7:15, got my coffee, booted up the PC, etc...dialed into the conference call at 7:30.....and waited.....for 10 minutes. No one else joined the call. Then I remembered that Phoenix doesn't celebrate Daylight Savings, so maybe Santa Fe doesnt either (where the meeting that I'm calling into is actually taking place).....So I did some research and, according to the US Government's own official time website (who know such a thing existed), Mountain time = Pacific time during Daylight Savings!!!!

What the hell is up with that????

Yeah shits weird. My folks used to live in AZ and I live in CO. CO participates in daylight savings (speaking of, when is that?) but AZ does not. For the life of me I could never remember what time it was down there when calling them. Now it's really screwy since they either have a 13 or 11 hour time difference

That's fucked up...why wouldn't people just follow the norm.

what? didn't understand the first time...

From what I understand (I could be wrong) the mountain time zone does participate in daylight savings but there are a few states that do not- Arizona being one of them, not quite sure of the others.

So when is daylight savings? I want my extra hour of sleep

I think it's only Arizona and Indiana that don't celebrate it but Indiana is supposed to start next year O__o

I've heard Hawaii too but not sure.

It's on October 30th this year

Apparently, New Mexico plays with that crowd too.

We have never subscribed to the daylights savings time thing.

Lrpba300 · 09-22-2005, 10:17 PM

Lardoggy, That is correct about Arizona & Indiana, but not New Mexico. They observe daylight savings, as far as I know. Never known them not to.

Jaylin · 09-23-2005, 11:07 AM

All of these people are just screwed up...
