Summer, summer, summer

Summer officially began here in the northeastern United States this morning at 8:26 AM EDT. That's right, it's the summer solstice, with 15 hours and 20 minutes of daylight. Curiously though, the Old Farmer's Almanac web page shows that Saturday, June 24th will have 15 hours and 21 minutes of daylight. I thought that the summer solstice was the longest day of the year. Hmmmmm. Oh well. I'll not squabble over a whole extra minute of daylight. True the days will now gradually get shorter until winter solstice in December, which is sort-of depressing. However, I shall enjoy the pool and bask in the heat of my favorite season until then.

I was going to post some lyrics from a summer themed song but couldn't find any to my liking. Oh well.
