Utter as in uttering, usually goes along with forgery, but not necessarily. Uttering a forged instrument is the act of presenting for payment a document (check) that is not the property of the presenter. A forged money order, busness or cashiers check applies as well. Generally a person convicted of this offense is caught writing someone elses personal checks without ther approval.
It is starting to get dark between 7 and 7:30, right now (remember, that's really 6 - 6:30, starndard time). It being early September now, that means it will be starting to get dark by 7PM, for all intents and purposes, and will be essentially completely dark by 8PM.
Our sunrise is at 6:51 a.m. today. If we were eastern time and started calling 6:51 7:51 instead, then that frame of reference would make for a really really late sunrise. People waking up at 6 would have 2 hours of darkness.
