You are right. It's 12:00 UTC that's 7 a.m. Texas Daylight Time. and 5 a.m. 
Pacific. Adjust my comments accordingly.

There aren't too many morning people in this neck of the woods. Mexicans (97% 
of the population) generally start later in the day but stay up later, by 
about two hours. And yes, it's a bit of an inside joke. We can often tell 
that a gringo is a chilango (someone from out of town) by the propensity to 
start the day early.

As Jimmy Buffet and Alan Jackson observed in that classic of country 
music, "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere."

Happy Trails,
