Hey there, Dick!  You're absolutely right, I'm on Eastern Daylight Savings
Time, I'm in the midwestern United States, so you're right on the money,
grin!  I'll have to catch you late in the evening our time to catch you at a
decent time, grin!  Talk to you soon!  BZ!

Hello, Brian,
Sorry that we missed each other on Skype, but your call came at a few 
minutes after 4 AM, so I was fast asleep.  We're going to have to do 
something about that time difference.  My zone time is plus 9, which means I

add 9 hours to Grenwich time to get my time.  If you are on the west coast 
of the US, the standard Pacific time zone is minus 8 hours from Grenwich.  
Daylight Saving Time changes that to minus 7.  Therefore, I am 16 hours 
ahead of someone on the west coast.  Actually, the easiest way to remember 
that is to just subtract 8 hours from your time, then remember that is the 
next day here.  For instance, 10 PM Saturday on the west coast is 2 PM 
Sunday here.  Does that make a lot of sense?  I get confused, too.  Anyway, 
your Skype call came in at 4:06 AM Sunday, so applying my time shift 
machine, I would say that you made the call at a few minutes after noon on 
Saturday if you are on the west coast.  If you are on the east coast, you 
made the call at about 4:06 PM.  Am I close to being right?
