Turn back your clocks Saturday night and be thankful you don't live in Tuba City, Arizona.
You see, most Arizonans take exception (the "Arizona Exception") to the Daylight Saving Time ("DST") observed by the rest of America.
But then there's the Navajo Rejection of the Arizona Exception: the northeast corner of Arizona is part of the Navajo reservation (which extends into three states) and in an effort to keep the same time across the entire Navajo Nation, they observe DST.
And then there's the Hopi Tribe, which doesn't agree with the Navajo DST decision. Yes, the Hopi Reservation, which is completely enclosed by the Navajo Nation, has declined DST... resulting in the Hopi Repudiation of the Navajo Rejection of the Arizona Exception.
Finally, there's Tuba City: tribal offices and schools observe DST, but most businesses do not.
I suspect the residents of Tuba City will be breathing a big sigh of relief this Sunday.
