I did know about Arizona, and I thought the other was Hawai’i, but wasn’t certain. I knew Arizona after working for 9 years for an art gallery which shipped wholesale to many states, including Arizona (also Alaska, Minnesota, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and many others.
North of the 49th, parts of northern (Peace River Region) and eastern BC (Creston and the East Kootenay Region) do not change so for part of the year, they are on BC time and part of the year they are on Alberta time. It can get confusing at times! About 93% of BC want to scrap the change in favour of year round daylight savings time. Legislation was passed for this but is contingent on Washington, Oregon and California doing the same. Unfortunately, in the US, the Congress must approve the change.
Yes I did my clocks, stove, and microwave last night well before bedtime.
I know I voted for Prop 7 in 2018 to make daylight savings time round. Supposedly it’s still in limbo and congress still have till December 2020 to vote on it.
My computer auto updated, as did my landline phones, and my stove and microwave were already on standard time. My bedroom clock is, however, weird. On the one hand, it has a feature where once can, in theory, change back and forth between daylight and Standard by flipping a switch. on the other hand, it runs fast – and I mean faster and faster with time. To the point that last March I just didn’t have to flip the switch – it was already on Daylight time. It still is, only now it’s 20 minutes fast for Daylight. If I flip the switch now, it will be two hours and 20 minutes fast. I am getting a new clock.
The 2 clocks that I rely on, my computer and my cell phone, automatically reset. Now if only my cats’ tummies would automatically reset! . . . especially in the spring!
I did.
But for the first time that I can recall, even though they’re set to auto-update, I had to refresh the computer & TVs to get them to “Fall Back”.
Now, that’s odd. Is there a way we can blame it on Republicans?
Yes! Thank you for the reminder on ‘Fall Back”
Did you know?
There are only 2 states that do not follow/observe this.. Arizona and Hawaii.

I used to live in Arizona, and only knew about Hawaii, because Arizona wanted to show they weren’t alone.

Almost forgot!
This is one advantage to relying on your computer and smart phone for the time – they fall back automatically.
TThey also don’t need to be reset when the power comes back on after a failure.
I didn’t have to. 🎆🎉🎊

I reset my watch (analog) and microwave by hand before I went to bed Saturday night. My computer and TV reset themselves.
