Happy Summer Solstice!

[steve...]

It's the longest day of the year and officially summer!



Why did Apple leave it off the calendar?

Love those long (or short) solstice days. Christmas is in December mainly because the church wanted to co-opt pagan mid-winter festivals. Without the connection to Passover, maybe Easter would have ended up as a mid-summer celebration.

Does seem odd that we start the season of summer when technically we are half way through the longest days of the year. The temperature lag has it getting warmer as the days get shorter.


Good luck.

Yup, the inexorable slide towards winter has begun.

You didn't almost say "Winter is coming." did you?

Here in SE lower MI, tomorrow's daylight will be 4 seconds shorter. Got your Christmas shopping done yet?

Hoping to leave Atlanta for MI later today, or maybe first thing tomorrow. I understand summer is finally arriving!


Good luck.

So there'd be room for all the other bogus "holidays" many people have NO interest in. I'd like to know why I'm NOT allowed to remove "holidays" I have NO interest in from my calendar????

It's MY space, I should be able to control and use it as best suits my needs.
