DateTime day = new DateTime(dateStr);
System.out.println(dateStr + "=>" + day);

11-04 and 11-06 are correct, but 11-05 are wrong. How to fix it? I am on the west coast of North America.

    In what way is 11-05 wrong? On November 4th at 2am local time (i.e. 9am UTC), west coast time went from UTC-7 to UTC-8.

    Now November 5th at 7am UTC, which is your second line, is after that point in time, therefore it’s correct for it to be UTC-8… and therefore the local time is 11pm on November 4th, exactly as shown.

    Joda Time is right here (unsurprisingly).
