OK so the problem here is that you expect a date in Mountain time. If we run this spec on the east coast it will fail due to the time reading as -0400.

A better way to test this would be to examine each component individually. For example:
```ruby
feedback_date = f.first.date
feedback_date.year.should == 2011
feedback_date.month.should == 7
feedback_date.day.should == 3
```
