I was just thinking, the skeeters have finally gotten to the point I put my hood on, or a bit of bug balm now and then. Was thinking them mild, at least so far compared to the gulf coast. But I've been around here in August and thought them much worse then a couple of times.
Daylight, Carolyn was just asking, I said doesn't matter what time I'm up to piss, out the window I can see all the colors in the yard still it seems.
Thank God for the man that invented shades LOL. Though I can sleep in full daylight too. If it's still too bad as we approach the solstice, the old Fairbanks trick is to foil the bedroom windows. Beerhunter and I are bathing in bug dope as soon as we depart the crummy it seems.

I’m surprised at the lack of tolerance for facts.

It is here. Friday, June 21, the sun brightens our skies longer than on any other day in 2019. The summer solstice is here: our longest day and shortest night of the year, and the first day of astronomical summer in Earth's Northern Hemisphere. This year's solstice arrives at 11:54 a.m. Eastern.

Wish I'd been further north, but here in Talkeetna it never really got dark. Of course for all practical aspects its been that way for a few weeks now really
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....
