A perfect answer... and as we all know where you live on the big curve of the earth messes with the set/rise times. The time continue to get 'earlier' (for a bit) while the other gets 'later' .... I have vivid memories of me as a young science teacher using a flashlight and a ball hung from the ceiling. A students head was the earth.... sometimes ya gotta work with the materials at hand. On the equator pretty much the same everyday...6:30 to 6:30.... makes cocktail hour pretty consistent.

Yay for the solstice.  It might be my favorite holiday of the year.  I knew if I looked to WTW there would be people celebrating.  We had a cheers and danced around the kitchen table, pizzas are in the oven.  Here's to the change in the light, the coming year, and renewal.  Happy solstice all.

We were seated at the table and watched the clock march down the final minutes to 1348 (PST). We held our breaths and felt us slide back around the corner. It was a grand ride. Now, let's start seeing some results. :)
