Perhaps Captain Sisko is one of those people who uses PST all year round, One might hope so, whether it means Pacific Summer Time, or Pacific Standard Time - and if the latter, whether it is standard because there are no more summer time variations, or simply becaus by then it has been recognised that summer time is the standard time when it applies. In any case, surely, by 2372, the absurd "daylight savings" label will have vanished from the lexicon.
And PST (US) may soon mean UTC-7 if CA (US) Prop (UTC-) 7 and federal tweaks pass, depending on what then happens in OR and WA. PST (BC, CA) could become UTC-9 and MST (AB, CA) UTC-8. -- Take care.
