Yay for longer days! I guess I am fickle. Right now all I want is more daylight. In late July I can hardly wait for evening!

 In Portland, today is 2 seconds shorter than yesterday. Tomorrow will be 2 seconds longer than today. Somewhere in between those two digital signals is an analog sweet spot marking the end of shortening days and the beginning of longer days - which should be at 1:48 pm - about 34 minutes from now.

I'm at latitude 29° right now, so it's gonna be harder for me to detect the change than those closer to the poles.
Maybe if I am very still...squint my eyes...
