Colonial Clocks

[nigelb]

The clocks in most areas of the Colonies move forward one hour early Sunday morning for daylight saving time, in case you need to know. Hawaii and Arizona are some of the exceptions, except on the Navaho reservation in Arizona where they observe daylight saving time. Oh wait, the Hopi tribe which is a part of the Navaho reservation, do not observe daylight saving time! More than you need to know, right?

Why can't the Navaho's and the Hopi's just learn to get along. I'm part Osage believe it or not. Which would explain my love of the white mans fire-water.

it's a shame that after syncing with the Free World a few year ago, the colonies went back to being different. That causes a major clock up twice in the space of a couple of weeks with Transatlantic air travel

Hi Brian,
I just looked down on this hot and humid day, and find that I'm part Sausage, too! What a coincidence!

Seriously though, how does one pronounce Osage, and do you call it a tribe, or does the name say it all? I could look it up in the Funk & Wagnall, but it'd be nicer coming from you.

It's one of those perculiar spellings

It's spelled Osage but pronounced Winglet
