Not so fast!  Is this really the end?  Which hour does
Time.local(t.year,t.mon,t.day.d.hour,59,17) belong to?

I would probably rather do

et = Time.local(t.year,t.mon,t.day.d.hour + 1,0,0)

and treat the hour as half open interval (i.e. beginning is included,
end is excluded).  Note that Time also has #usec!

Kind regards

robert
