Hope you enjoyed your extra hour of sleep last night (in Europe, make that “last week“). America has now moved from “Daylight Saving Time” to “Standard Time,” except in Arizona, which stays in Standard Time all year long. Arizona doesn’t believe in Daylight Saving Time, but that state doesn’t believe in Climate Change, Water Fluoridation, International Law, or Evolution, either.
Many households will also change the batteries in their smoke detectors today. In Arizona people mark this day by putting fresh ammunition in their handguns.
Why does Arizona reject Daylight Saving Time? Perhaps the state’s many retirees can’t figure out how to change the time settings on their old VHS machines.
