Summer Is Here With The Longest Day Of The Year

You are looking south from my balcony patio, early in the morning, in Texas, on this, the longest day of the year. The Summer Solstice, June 21.

Tonight the sun will set in my zone of Texas at 8:21.

If I were in Seattle tonight I'd see the sun set at 9:11.

Here, in Texas, when the sun sets, it quickly gets dark. Further north, like in Seattle. Or Juneau. When the sun sets the light seems to linger. There likely is some astronomic explanation for this.

Monday is my therapist prescribed no hill hiking day. So, there will be no hill hiking for me today. I'm hoping this does not make me grumpy.
