Daylight Savings Time?
Starting this year, Baja's, Daylight Savings Time will be the same as the U.S. Don't they just have clocks with the days on them? http://www.timetemperature.com/tzmx/mexico_dst.shtml

Check out that link in the opening post...
Here it is if anyone doesn't like links:
DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME IN MEXICO
In most of Mexico daylight saving time begins at 2:00 a.m. local time on the first Sunday in April. On the last Sunday in October areas on daylight
saving time fall back to Standard Time at 2:00 a.m. local time. Central Standard Time (CST) becomes Central Daylight Time (CDT), and so forth. The
state of Sonora does not observe daylight saving time. During daylight saving time turn your clocks ahead one hour. At the end of daylight saving time
turn your clocks back one hour.
NEW! In 2010 ten Mexico municipalities which share a border with the United States will begin daylight saving time three weeks earlier on the second
Sunday in March and end on the first Sunday in November. Previously all of Mexico, with the exception of the state of Sonora which does not observe
daylight saving time, began and ended daylight saving time at the same time. The Congress of Mexico passed legislation in December 2009 which allowed
these ten border cities to adopt a daylight saving time pattern consistent with the United States. The municipalities which are now permitted by law
to observe daylight saving time consistent with the United States are:
City, State
Acuna, Coahuila
Anahuac, Nuevo Leon
Juarez, Chihuahua
Matamoros, Tamaulipas
Mexicali, Baja California
Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas
Ojinaga, Chihuahua
Piedras Negras, Coahuila
Reynosa, Tamaulipas
Tijuana, Baja California
The observation of daylight saving time for these ten municipalities will begin at 2:00 a.m. local time on the second Sunday in March. On the first
Sunday in November these areas will return to Standard Time at 2:00 a.m. local time.
This change in daylight saving time observance was requested by local governments and political leaders to help facilitate commerce with the United
States. Industries such as transportation and banking were especially affected by the differences in daylight saving time. In some cases businesses
had to to open an hour early than usual to conduct business with US companies during the 3 weeks in March when the two countries were on different
times.
Some smaller towns and villages surrounding these ten municipalities may unofficially follow the extended daylight saving time pattern.

This is not correct
With the exception of Tijuana and Mexicali, daylight savings time will begin this year in Both Baja Norte and Baja Sur on April 4.

It just seems to me that there should be a bit more clarification. At what point heading South, will the old rule be observed? Will the time be the
same in TJ and Ensenada? San Quintin? Do I change my watch at Rosarito? La Mision? From what I glean from the link, the entire state of Sonora will be
in synch with US time. But not BC?

That's too confusing...almost as much as living here in AZ, where we don't observe daylight savings. I used to think that the whole Spring Ahead, Fall
Back was confusing, but now that I live in AZ, we essentially change time zones. Mountain to Pacific and back again.
I much prefer the simplicity of k-rico's clock

Here's the official rules, in Spanish:
http://www.cenam.mx/hora_oficial/ndisposicion.aspx
Apart from border municipalities like TJ and Mexicali, it also says:
"In border towns that are located on the northern border in the area between the international line and a line located at a distance of twenty miles,
and the City of Ensenada, Baja California" ... it's the US dates.
So in theory it's the whole of BC on the US dates, BCS on Mexico dates.
In practice, it's whatever the person you are meeting has heard.

Hey....It's Baja. The only time that should mean anything to anybody is 10 AM at the beer store.

Catastrophe Averted
JUST in time.
Well, maybe not Catastrophe.
I had set the Recorder to start before 11 a.m. to record "Blackhawk Down", but didn't reset the clock.
Caught it with seconds to spare.
A Close Call.
