Are you on summer time?

To compensate for summer time, I set the time zone in the map to be one
hour earlier than usual, and then hit (set). I'm using 7.1, which was
DST-stupid. So I take the normal -8 time zone and add an hour, getting -7.
I then also adjust the GMT bias in the booter.

Take care,
