The Longest Day of the Year
The sun was already up when my alarm rang at 4:58 AM. I finally arrived home in Edmonton a few minutes before 11PM, just as the last few milliphotons of nonlasering sunlight dipped below the horizon. I love the solstice.
And at least it wasn't the longest day of the year in the other sense of the word. Just another dayshift. Oh yeah and I got to help put out another fire at work today. A backhoe this time and really there wasn't much in the way of flames by the time I got there.
