My vague recollection is that, if one picked the right (or wrong) year, the above might be different, too. I'd have to go look it up to be sure, but my recollection is also that Arizona has observed Daylight (aka "War") time in some years. IMO, this just reinforces my suggestion: be careful about the words one uses for "Phoenix time", or avoid it entirely in examples, unless one wants to get dragged into that mess of fine distinctions and subtle rules. On the other hand, if one wanted to illustrate the mess as a collection of exceptions and exceptions to exceptions... best, john
