1. Lived in Arizona for 40 years

And this is pretty much one of the few things we got right.

5. I don't!

I'm already confused since I need to figure out how to change the clock in my car...

8. Thanks! One of their best!

But it still doesn't help me with the clock in my car. I must have dealt with it last year, guess I'll have to consult the owner's manual...

9. Ask any 14 year old to help.

They seem good at that stuff.

10. My friend has a teenage daughter - who also drives - so she might be the ideal resource...

4. They opted out because they are so close to mountain time that if they did DLS time it would be

Light at 10 pm a good portion of the year.

6. Thanks for the explanation...

Though I don't see the downside of that. I'm not a fan of driving in the dark and it was already dark tonight by the time I left the house.
