One first creates the local time, and then pairs that to the time zone "America/Los_Angeles" using `make_zoned`. Then add 2Gs to the `sys_time` (not the `local_time`) of `birthday`. This outputs: One first creates the local time, and then pairs that to the time zone "America/Los_Angeles" using `make_zoned`. Then add 2Gs to the `sys_time` (not the `local_time`) of `birthday`.

Note that without handling the timezone correctly, this result would be an hour off (2017-09-08 13:36:20) because the birth date falls in PST, and the celebration date falls in PDT.
