Was that Pacific Standard time?

It would have been Pacific Time since Daylight Savings time didn't exist in the US before 1918...thus neither did the concept of Pacific Standard Time.

Daylight Savings time didn’t OFFICIALLY exist in the US before 1918.....Ben Franklin conceived of the idea in 1784 but did not act upon it............New Zealand entomologist George Vernon Hudson in 1895 proposed what is now DST, but his shift was 2 hours instead of one.....Others as well...........

I’ve been reading the Bible and concentrating on the wrath of God. What if He shakes the whole world and every fault quakes? He said He will be doing that.

It would probably divert the AIC (Agitator in Chief) away from promoting racism.

536 ad. wasn’t that the time Cassiodorus wrote about the weird weather, and the pale sun and frost in summer? Which volcano was this one, the article didn’t say?
