Move to the west coast?  :-) :-)

I'll give you a hint:

jq:> man date


DATE(1)                 COMMAND REFERENCE                 DATE(1)



NAME
     date - print and set the date

SYNOPSIS
     date [ -u ] [ -z zone ] [ -d daylight_type ] [
     [yy]mmddhhmm[.ss] ]
     [ +format ]

Guess what -z zone does.
