David - Thanks for the pointers. I didn't know you could cast a timestamp
to time type to extract the hour/minute information. Nice!

Rok - Not sure I understand what you mean...  My input is UTC but I want to
extract the time information local to New York Timezone (e.g. filter time
to 10 AM New York time). How would I do this without assume_timezone?
