Ack. There is no denying your logic. ;) And here Heather even got in 
touch with me to double-check the time conversion, and I was, like, 
"Yeah, that's right...oh wait, no, it should be an hour earlier...oh! no 
wait, I'm wrong, it's, um...yeah, okay, that's right." I was so busy 
figuring out the numbers I forgot to look at the letters.
