Summer Solstice

[scs_11]

It's solstice. In our neck of the north woods, that means sunrise at 5:58 AM and sunset at 9:16 PM, or 15 hours and 18 minutes of daylight. When you count in the 'official' twilight hours, that mean 16.5 hours of useful light. Sometimes it's nice living this far north

North?

Pah! Think again again, you southern softie! Sunrise was at 4:46am this morning and sunset is not due until 9:27pm

I won't be able to pelt anyone with snowballs on Dec 21, it'll be too dark....

Reminds me of my days up at Michigan Tech.

"It's 4 in the morning
and once more the dawning
has brought out the yearning
in me" - country song from that spring/summer

Everything is relative, my son

Ah, but you should remember that I moved here from near the Mexican border.

Actually, I'm not sure where 'here' is...

'Here' is southern Michigan.
