The Shortest Evening of the Year
Solstice and such
June 21, 2011
Do you always watch for the longest day of the year and then miss it? I always watch for the longest day in the year and then miss it.” –The Great Gatsby
Well, not this year you don’t: Today, June 21, is the longest day of the year (unless you count Yom Kippur pre-sundown). How will you take advantage of all the sunlight?
