Consider the program below.
I want to compute the duration between a time that I put in the
"old_time_str" variable and the current time. If I put the current time in
a string, the program shows the correct duration. If I get the current time
using time.Now() then the duration shown is 7 hours too long (I'm in PDST).
I'd like both methods to return the correct duration. Let's presume that
both times are in the same time zone.
What am I doing wrong?
Cordially,

package main
import (
"fmt"
"time"
)
var old_time_str string = "Thu Apr 20 20:26:40 2023"
var new_time_str string = "Fri Apr 21 17:07:51 2023"
var time_format string = `Mon Jan 02 15:04:05 2006`
func main() {
var new_time_1 time.Time
var new_time_2 time.Time
var old_time time.Time
var diff time.Duration
old_time, _ = time.Parse(time_format, old_time_str)
new_time_1, _ = time.Parse(time_format, new_time_str)
fmt.Printf("Old time is %s\n", old_time.Format(time_format))
fmt.Printf("New time 1 is %s\n", new_time_1.Format(time_format))
diff = new_time_1.Sub(old_time)
fmt.Printf("diff 1: %s\n\n", diff.String())
new_time_2 = time.Now()
fmt.Printf("Old time is still %s\n", old_time.Format(time_format))
fmt.Printf("New time 2 is %s\n", new_time_2.Format(time_format))
diff = new_time_2.Sub(old_time)
fmt.Printf("diff 2: %s\n", diff.String())
}
