It was a beautiful day, warm but not too hot, sunny and clear. Good day for it since my daughter moved out of her house and back into mine.

Indian standard time is is GMT+ 5.30, whereas Chicago is GMT -6.

🙂 Hope this helps.

I see. Thanks for the clarification. I interpret that to mean you prefer seeing the time stamps in USA Central Time and not your own time zone. That makes good sense. I have enjoyed your _East West_ thread, too.
