It's difficult to imagine TCB being 8 hours ahead of PDT.
Of course, I spent much of my Navy career in time zones 9 hours ahead of West Coast time. But at that time, I had no internet with which to keep in touch with folks.
And then I had family and friends who could not grasp the time difference (usually 6 hours vice 9) and would call me in the wee hours of my mornings.
Oh, well. I never turned a single caller away or made them feel they were interrupting my sleep. In almost each call, they would "get" that it was only 3 a.m. where I was. By then, however, we'd have said as much as we needed to say.
