Oh Yeah...I Almost Forgot...

Today is the first "official" day of summer.  Forgive me if I don't seem too excited, but it's been 95+ degrees with a heat index of 100+ degrees for what seems like the last month here in southcentral Texas, so I guess my senses already thought we've been there and done that...


None-the-less, the Summer Solstice took place at around 6:30 local time this morning.  Folks near the Arctic Circle up in Alaska won't see the sun set for the next 4 days...hence the nickname "land of the midnight sun".  I haven't seen that in person, but sure would love to some day...
