Time zones. Notice the +0000 at the end. You are in the Pacific time zone according to the headers in your e-mail (assuming the list server hasn't mangled them). So Fri, 14 Mar 1902 01:20:12 +0000 is Thu, 13 Mar 1902 18:20:12 -0700 Probably your Rails in configured to use UTC as the default timezone. $ cd config/ $ grep UTC * environment.rb: config.time_zone = 'UTC' environment.rb~: config.time_zone = 'UTC' HTH, Jeffrey -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
