Thank you. We've tried DST here in Arizona. (Only the Navajo Reservation observes it.) It was a disaster. Little kids playing T-Ball and Little League had to be up very late because at 7 p.m., the sun was still high in the sky and it was 112-115 degrees some evenings. So they'd have to start playing at 8 or 8:30. Families wanting picnic would have to wait sometimes until 9 for it to be cool enough. Only took one year, and we repealed it. Every once in awhile some newbie moves to Arizona and decides he or she is going to run for the legislature. Then he or she introduces a DST measure because, by gosh, we like back there in Ohio. That legislator is bombarded by irate people inviting him to move home.
