Sorry, yeah.  Unix timestamps are universal time: when it's time_t
567,320,400, it's 567,320,400 all over the world at the same second.
That particular second is midnight at the start of Thursday, Dec 24
1987 in Eastern Standard Time, but it sounds like you're in Pacific
time, where that was still 9PM the prior evening.
