Thanks to Chris / CopCarSS for my avatar.
The Google main page refers to today as the summer solstice. Is it uncool to say the word summer now or what?

I would say that north of the equator, summer is now quite hot

Mookie,
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high but the latter does not apply in Michigan. We are surrounded by the Great Lakes and have enough inland lakes to challenge Minnesota. Plenty of those finned critters to go around but there are few of them I will eat. Just the thought of fish bones turns me off and most here have lots of them. Cod filets are my preference.

The solstice is a specific point in time, in this case, that point when the sun "touches" the Tropic of Cancer (ie, is directly overhead at 23°26′13.3″ North). That occurred at 0424 UCT (Greenwich), or just after noon EDT. The day containing the summer solstice has the longest period of daylight of the year. But you knew that...
Of course, it's not the sun that moves, but the fact that the earths rotational axis is tipped with relation to the sun.
The season following the summer solstice is still known as summer and will continue until the vernal equinox...

DeggestyIsn't 0424 UCT 4:24 after midnight? That would be 00:24 Atlantic Standard Time, or 00:24 EDT, which is based on the 60th meridian west..
Ah, yes - crossing 12 hour clocks and 24 hour clocks. I use 24 hour clocks a lot between ham radio and the fire service, so didn't notice that they meant 1624 UCT, which would be 1224 EDT.

Not sure I can handle living somewhere that you have to hustle from one air conditioned venue to the next...
Visited with Mom. She suffered a small stroke (or several). Some loss of function on one side, but mentally as sharp as she's been of late. But she will turn 91 this summer.
Headed for the Hall of Flame in the AM, while she's in PT...
Good morning
Tree prayers for your mom.MC no wax behind the ears.Mom would always check after bathtime to make sure no potatoes were growing.Rain has arrived in Nw Ohio.Guessers say 70 for Monday.
Bob - maybe shut door, not only for rain, which is easy to deal with, but also against small animals or bad people looking for a way to get away....plus you will look a lot more "fetching" if you don't walk away from people looking like you have a medical problem...
just sayin'....
Why is it that the rain comes down the hardest when you have to run through it?? Had a couple of short bursts on the drive to the station this morning and it eased up a bit for the dash from the parking garage to the station. It became an absolute deluge when the train arrived and I had to make the mad dash from the station building to the train. Didn't get too wet, though. Rain was lighter for the walk from CUS to work.
