Daylight

The view to the southeast

I note with approval that there is light in the east at 6am, and it was quite bright enough at 7am to read or do whatever you wish. And it's light out until almost 10pm, these days.

Alaska is now in its headlong rush* to reach the "land of the midnight sun" status - gaining almost six minutes of light daily - and that's perfectly okay with us.

By the end of this week, I won't need headlights to drive to work again until some time in October. And that's okay, too.




*Okay, so it's hyperbole. But not by much.

"Spring is coming."

"Hold on, it's coming. Hold on, it's almost here..."

'60s flashback. I'm all better now.
