Arizona as a whole does not observe DST, but some municipalities and Indian
tribes do. Makes things pretty complicated, especially with some counties
observing DST and some towns within them ignoring it. I heard that the reason
the state sticks to standard time year-round is something to do with minimizing
smog in Phoenix. Sounds wierd, but who knows...
