I have family in the USA and at the moment I think they have just moved to daylight savings time while we're still a couple of weeks from moving out of it in NZ. So at present a four hour difference between us but soon to move to five I think.

Because I live in the future I also need to allow for everyone I call who is living in my past. It's just the lot that a time traveler has to deal with :)
