My wife and I frequently vacation in Arizona. I suppose we've been out there 20 or more times and we still can't get used to the time changes there. Although most of the state observes MST year round, the Navajo reservation does switch to DST. We usually drive from Phoenix to Paige AZ which involves 4 time changes!
To make things worse, Paige observes MST but it is completely surrounded by the Navajo reservation which uses DST in the summer months. Some of the businesses in Paige use DST to accommodate the Navajo who work in town. Whenever we make dinner reservations, we have to ask the restaurant what time they use!
I suppose if we lived there year round, we could get used to it.

I don’t understand you talking about 4 time changes? Arizona stays on MST year round, and the Navajo Reservation changes to daylight savings time. There are only 2 different times in AZ, not 4. The Navajo Reservation changes to DST because the Reservation is within 3 states, 2 of which observe DST.

I'm talking about time changes, not time zones. If I drive from Phoenix onto the Navajo reservation, that's one time change. Driving from the Navajo reservation onto the Hopi reservation is the second. From the Hopi into the Navajo again is the third. From the Navajo into Paige is the 4th.

Ah, that makes sense.
My roosters always seemed to start crowing about an hour before sunrise, and didn’t stop. After they got a bit older they would calm down yet by then would be beating up on the hens. The last one Ichad made the mistake of attacking me... he didn’t survive the experience.
While I miss hearing them crow, I didn’t care to see all of my hens running around with no feathers on their hindquarters.

About 30 miles south of us is the town of Plymouth, IN. A family had a golf course and a drive-in movie theatre. There was a death in the family, and one brother inherited the golf course, another inherited the drive-in theatre. The golf course guy loves DST because it keeps the golfers on the course longer. The drive-in guy hates it because he can't start his movies until after sunset, which is quite late during DST.
When I was a kid, in the late 60's, when they started trying to implement DST here in Indiana, they called it Double Daylight Time, because it was so light out so late. We had about 20 kids on our block of varying ages, and all of us, young and old, would be out riding bikes up and down the street or swimming in the lake until well after 10:00pm. We had to wait until well past 10:30 to play hide and seek, or ghost in the graveyard. We didn't go to bed until after midnight most nights. I remember going in for the night and eating popcorn and watching Carson's monologue with my mom every night. Then I'd go to bed. I was 8-9 years old. It was nuts.

For a number of years I worked a 4-10 schedule, my office was in various basement spaces. I would drive to work in the dark and drive home in the dark for about a month each year! Would not see daylight except on weekends.
I'm retired now and don't really care one way or another about DST now, go to bed when I feel like it and get up when I feel like it. Avoid making appointments early in the day so we don't even have an alarm clock any more. Once or twice a year if we do need one a phone will do.

One rooster is fine. Multiple roosters constantly display against each other, and occasionally fight for territory.
They will all try to keep “their” hens in their territory, and force the other guys hens into the territory which is theirs.
If you have one rooster, it is all his territory, and he calms down.

I wish Idaho would just switch to Pacific Standard, and be done with it. I’ve heard all the arguments about it making the kids go to school in the dark.
The local school districts have gone to a four day school week to save on busing costs, and minimize the effect of athletic travel on the class room presence. We are far enough north, that even with the switch back, they still go to school in the dark, and come home in the dark. If we went to PST, they would at least get to go home in some light.
And, I would have some light in the evening to plow the driveway. AS it is I have to do it with lights, whether I do it in the morning or the evening.
