Yes, after looking further, the rtc issue didn't bother me. I knew that was 
just timezone offset stuff. The big issue was the reboot and the 8 hour 
disparity instead of 5. The system clock information in the logs is puzzling 
as well:

15:45 providence:~> sudo grep 'system clock' /var/log/everything.log

   That's 3 spontaneous reboots in 11 minutes. Something is really off.
