Only here in the US. The changeover still happens later, and earlier
for the change back to standard time, in other parts of the world.
E.g., with all the news about new Pope, it's now 5 hours instead of 6 to
Italy. And I also know that Israel doesn't change until later, either
(although I don't know if Israel and Italy change at the same time).

And it doesn't even happen in all parts of the US - some places don't
observe DST here.

Good for them! I was brought up in Michigan before they went to DST
and remember listening to the radio stations feeling sorry for all
those poor schlubs in Chicago who had to bounce back and forth all the
time. It didn't make sense to me as a kid and it doesn't make sense
to me as an adult.... it's a stupid thing to be doing in this day and
age.

Indiana used to be kind of strange with part of the state observing, and
part not. I think the whole state does now, even though part of it
isn't in the eastern time zone. That still must be kind of strange if
you have friends or family one county away in the same state and it's a
different time.

There's some place out West that doesn't observe DST, either - Utah,
maybe, or Nevada - I can't remember right now and am too lazy to look it
up.
