Also, with our light here in AK tending to the later side anyway, there's not much benefit in "saving" any of it. The downside to not following the crowd is trying to remember which time zone AZ is currently aligned with.Jo Coolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11087425297103653408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402991.post-36301973212937535282008-03-12T15:12:00.000-07:002008-03-12T15:12:00.000-07:00steve -- sure does!!!
