Daylight savings time, per Arizona Indian Chief

As the rest of the country has again changed their clocks once again on 02 November in accordance with the laws of daylight savings time, those in Arizona do not change their clocks at any time ...

Perhaps it is better explained this way, as a wise old Arizona Indian chief once said when daylight savings was explained to him:

"Only a white man would believe that you could cut a foot off the top of a blanket and sew it to the bottom of a blanket and have a longer blanket."

Back when they were trying to get DST enacted in Wisconsin, the main opposition came from the Dairy Farmers.

They said changing to & from DST would confuse the cows as to when was milking time.

I never knew cows could tell time!

Here in Indiana, the cows have a better idea of what time it is than us humans.
If we're going to the next county we have to call to find out what time it is there.

I really hate it when it's only 4:30pm here and it's almost dark outside already. :thumbsdown:

That would be an udder time. I don't think that it would confuse the cows but by changing the time by an hour I could see how it may throw off production for a bit. Hey guys milk is almost twice as expensive as gas after DST. Maybe there is some truth to that.
