Dear most of America,Leave the clocks alone… or at least let bars serve during the extra hour

You know, I've lived roughly two-thirds of my life in places that observe daylight saving time. Still, after eight years of living in Arizona, it was weird to have to get back into the clock-changing routine once again.


So this magical time change supposedly occurs at 2 a.m., making for a repeat of the one o'clock hour in the fall. Well, mydesert.com didn't roll over until the second instance of 1:15 a.m., but sadly, last call is still at the first 2 a.m. — meaning there's no magical repeat of the last hour of alcoholic availability.


If this whole daylight saving nonsense had allowed me to actually get a drink after work last night, I might've been OK with all this clock-changing business. But alas, that was not the case, and so like other transplanted Arizonans who are having a hard time adjusting to adjusting clocks, I think daylight saving time is nonsense and the rest of the country should wise up and join Arizona (and South Africa, I might add) in leaving the dang clocks alone.
