Here's the timestamp of your message:

Date: Sat, 13 Jun 2015 12:54:30 -0600

It is actually about 86400 seconds ahead...

Your clock is an entire day ahead of your cell phone, unless you're
emailing us from the future.


If you are emailing from the future, is it like the Jetsons?  Are
there flying cars?  That'd be awesome.

My computer clock is only seconds ahead of my phone,
which is timed to the cellular provider's ntp server.
My system time shows pretty muc same time
as other local clocks and watches with people
around me.
So, not sure how I can change that.
Our time here is the Mountain Standard Time with DST
(ala Denver, Coloado, USA).
My "location" in the system clock is set to MST.
OS's TZ is set to MST7DST
But in the summer DST makes it  -0600  instead of -0700 ???
Not sure.
