Time Zones & Daylight-Saving Measures

The whole time zone thing has always confused me. What if you've got friends that live close by but in another time zone? If you say "come over at 6:00pm", you'd have to add "my time" or "your time" to your invitation. And what about setting business hours?
Here are a couple of answers in an interesting CNN article about Indiana's recent time zone decision. I wouldn't have thought it would be "a highly emotional and divisive issue among residents."
Why is Arizona the rebel, I wonder.

Go to the California Energy Commission's website to expand your knowledge. You'll be glad you did. It's a great 5-minute conversation topic for parties. Add in bits about rolling blackouts (which I remember from my CA days) and you'll have people leaning in and saying "really?" a lot.

(*The correct spelling is Daylight Saving Time - no "s" and it's capitalized. I didn't know that.)

I think the reason Arizona doesn't do Daylight savings is that its hot there during the summer, and they actually want as little daylight as possible.
