I like it that no matter where I live I can wake up at 6, stores open by 9, and lunch is at 12. Imagine every time traveling having to ask the locals what time things happen. Also, I don't think any politician will allow their state to be the state that doesn't have the same time as other countries in the same longitude

[Asooka]

Yeah, I can wake up at 6, except in winter, when it's 5 and my biological clock has absolutely refused to adjust for the last 30 years, so I wake up at 7, and the stores open at 9 except when it's 10 and some open at 8, and lunch is, of course at 12, except in winter, when it's at 13, or maybe it's at 11, because I skipped breakfast, no wait there's an early meeting and corporate provided snacks, lunch is at 14 today.

I'm happy that you can set your life to the digit displayed on the clock no matter what that digit actually means in real time, but please spare a thought for those of us whose biological clocks can't readjust and help us abolish DST.

Most places I've visited vary from business to business. With all due respect, I don't know of anywhere that fits your 9 & 12 mold. When I travel I always need to look up the hours of businesses. Many also pick a day or two during the week to close or prepare. Many also operate dramatically different depending on the day you go.

Ok but they do operate at a reasonable approximation. Sure a shop may open at 0800 in one town and not until 1000 in another but are there really places on earth where the shops tend to open at 0100 and close by 0900? Certainly there can't be many.

Spain's lunch/closing times are much later with the day being split in two periods, the second of which is 4:30-9: https://www.google.ie/url?q=http://www.spain.info/en_IE/info...

Arizona doesn't do daylight savings, while the Navajo Nation (surrounded by AZ) does, and so does Utah to the North.

And the Hopi Nation (surrounded by the Navajo Nation) does not.

And then the Navajo Nation portion inside the Hopi Nation does

> Navajo Nation (surrounded by AZ)

Actually, it occupies area in 3 states. The Hopi Reservation is surrounded by the Navajo Nation.
