Comment:

 > Jul 13 21:31:40.000 [warn] Received directory with skewed time
 (DIRSERV:171.25.193.9:443): It seems that our clock is ahead by 5 hours, 1
 minutes, or that theirs is behind. Tor requires an accurate clock to work:
 please check your time, timezone, and date settings.

 Did you look into this? What did you learn?

 It looks like you got lucky after starting Tor again and were able to get
 farther into the bootstrap process. Perhaps at this point having a clock
 that is more correct than +5h is very important. Extra logging (for
 example: debug or info level instead of just notice) might have revealed
 the issue better.

 But first: I'm guessing you're in UTC-5 and have set the time to UTC but
 the timezone is still central time.
