I think that's UTC-6h in northwest Florida (Central time zone), but UTC-5h in peninsular Florida where Mike is (Eastern time zone). Or else I'm confused. I grew up in one and live in the other, and between that and keeping track of summer and winter times, I don't always get it right... But anyway, Mike, be at your clock, or GPS, or whatever, at 23:59:59Z on Dec 31. Don't forget your eggnog. - Bob _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
