Avoid confusion during this week
Time change came into effect today in México, we are no longer on Daylight Time, it is now Standard Time. Once again this started today, so for this
week until the US changes to Standard Time on November 4th, specialy if you are catching flights, have meetings, need to conduct business in México,
keep this in mind.
Between now and Nov 4th just by crossing the border from California to Baja California or viceversa you will have an hour difference.
As for our radio show, it will air at the same time, 6PM Pacific Standard time (Baja California time), 7PM Mountain Standard Time (Baja California Sur
time), but now for those in California, for this comming week only, it will happen 1 hour earlier, at 7PM Pacific Daylight time.

Boy do I wish they would quit playing games with the time. at least they used to all do it on the same day. no mater what they do there is still the
same amount of daylight hours in a day and nothing they can do will change that so what the heck is the point?

Advising the Confused
It is, for the most part, a futile task.
Those who find themselves confused by these sorts of events will continue to be confused regardless of such well-intentioned efforts.

If you are wondering how all this started, just look at my tag line. Yes, it is a riddle.

Viva Arizona! We have no truck with such foolishness here. The only problem is when we have to figure out what time it is elsewhere. People who
work outdoors here often have a winter schedule and a summer schedule to deal with the heat. It makes a lot more sense to change your activities to
fit the time than to pretend the time has changed to fit your activities.
All my childhood I wanted to be older. Now I\'m older and this chitn sucks.

Hose A is compounding my confusion. Now I have to worry about having four clocks in two rooms, keeping track of which room is which and remembering
why I have four clocks in the first place. I can't even begin to fathom the time issue until I have answered the other questions. And then, you had to
import New York angst to the West Coast. Sounds like a Woody Allen movie.
Our only consolation is MrBill's benevolent post that pinpoints, with absolute clarity, that something is wrong with the rest of us. It saves us a ton
of $$$. Now we won't have to give it to the Shrink.

confusion!

Compounding the Problem
Is the fact that we most frequently "Fall" forward when we trip and we often Spring "Back" to avoid mishap.
It all works out eventually, though.

What percentage of people that this makes sense for, would however be easily confused?
