lol, I know how that goes. For some bizarre reason, I have written several complicated computer programs involving time, time zones, and their offsets. This rather arcane background comes in handy about once a year :-) (not on daylight savings days ... that confuses the heck out of me)

Ok, I'll give you a chance to use your knowledge. WHY is 17 hours the most any place can be ahead of D.C.? And how much is the Phillipines ahead? When my brother was there, I seem to recall it being about 17 hours ahead.

not on daylight savings ...

No 'S'
