	Actually, PST means Pacific Standard Time...Summer is still a few months 
away.  In about a week we'll be going to PDT or Pacific Daylight Time.  

	This is our way of extending the (*wink*) beautiful NW Spring, Summer and 
Autumn.  It's wonderful to sit outside at the Summer Solstice and watch 
the sun finally set about 10pm or so here in the Northern Latitudes 
of the Pacific Northwest (which, to a certain degree -- "pun" unintended, 
includes San Francisco, CA).

	Peace,

ps. Los Angeles, San Diego and parts of Southern Canada are all part of 
the timezone referenced as "Pacific".
