Happy Summer Solstice for those in The Northern Hemisphere!

Living in da frozen tundra of Wisconsin, USA, I have a special affinity for the Summer Solstice, aka the longest day of the year. On this day, at least in Wisconsin, our longest day is 15 1/2 hours long. Obviously not as lengthy as London UK, Moscow Russia, or Iceland, but pretty fun nevertheless. So I'm sitting on my patio soaking up the sun. Our spring has been cold and gloomy. Looks like summer is finally arriving, with temps in the 80's starting next week.

For those of you in the Southern Hemisphere, I feel for you. After this day, your days will lengthen.

I hope you all have a wonderful day, wherever you are!

We're packing to spend a few days out where cellphones don't work and you can't see a single human light.

It's a family and friends event we do every Summer Solstice... a time to unwind and blow the stink of civilization off of us.

This is the coldest and wettest SS we remember but the weather in Montana is getting better the next few days as well.

A perfect time to reflect and plan for the future.

With a little alcohol and stuff involved...

Happy SS to you as well and see everyone in a few days.

I refuse to celebrate the summer solstice until all hemispheres are equal and we can celebrate together!
