I was really freaked out a few years ago when I went to AZ, saw the sun was up the next morning, got up showered and then went downstairs to get breakfast at my friends house and no one was up.. 'Cause it was 4:45 AM. It looked like 9 am or something.
The reason not all 50 states use DST is because it is up to each state to make laws regarding these things. And as in the case of almost everything, you cant always get 50 people or states to agree on anything.
The reason AZ doesnt (As I was explained is 2 fold)
1, AZ is a retiremant state. The retirees dont like it, because it makes things darker in the AM, when Seniors tend to be awake doing things.
2, IT IS HOT AS H&LL in AZ in the summer. You get the daytime heat done early, and the sun sets sooner you can go back outside in the evening after the sun has set. If they observed DST, the sun would stay up later in the day, and it would be hotter later inthe day. Actually makes sense.
As for Indiana, I think they are just being difficult.
