I know, I _know_ that, hence my little rant about defaulting to Denver.

And, actually, the DST thing in Arizona is more complicated than you think.  
[ul]  
[li]Arizona does not observe DST[/li][li]Except the Navajo reservation which does[/li][li]Except the Hopi reservation entirely within the Navajo reservation which does not[/li][/ul]  
The Indian Country guidebooks recommend that during summer you inquire locally what the time is, same as you do about road conditions.

One would think that Verizon could get it right but they’re too incompetent/lazy to do so.
