Does the time-clock refer to Washington, D.C., time, or Africa time? Because, probably impossibly, there seems to be daylight in both places. In January.
Posted by Stephen Silver at November 23, 2008 08:50 PMMost of Africa is 5 or 6 hours ahead of D.C. So 3-5 p.m. (the time on the signature digital clock) there would be 9-11 or 10-12 a.m. in D.C., consistent with the characters in D.C. who were getting dressed, indicating morning.
