Every now and then it really gets to me how much further North I'm living than I ever have before. I'm still pretty damn close to the US boarder, but when I lived in Ontario I was well below the 49th (if I remember correctly from the charts and things when sailing we were around the 44th or 45th), and I think that Halifax was even further South,

Calgary is further north than I've ever lived. Much as you describe, it's still light out at 9:00 pm these days; even at 10 pm it's not fully dark. It's great for day trips since we can still make it home in the evenings without driving in the dark (not advisable since we've got one dim headlight on the ol' car.)

I'd be interested to see what you think once you've done the full circuit of the year in Calgary. You moved after the winter Solstice, right?

Also - my grandparents are in Calgary, and at some point I'm going to have to go and visit them. To make the visit more fun, we'll have to hang out. I have no idea when this will be - but so's you know. :)
