Our weather is definitely varying, and all four seasons are pretty much equal here. Some years we have four feet of snow by Christmas, and ten years ago, when our family moved to this  house after we'd built it, the grass sprouted in mid-December. :o

     What time does it get dark in the summer?

     I was in Paris last May and it didn't get dark until 9:00pm or thereabouts, maybe later. I never thought of Paris as north of Boston, but it's approx. 450 miles closer to the North Pole.

Depends on where you are, in the very northern Finland the sun doesn't go down for a couple of months 8)
Much of the summer it doesn't really get dark here (500 km south) either.
And OTOH, in the very Northern Lapland, the the Polar night lasts about 40 days.

In unrelated news, Pittsburgh Pirates beat the hell out of the St. Louis Cardinals today. They were tied up for awhile but Pirates pulled it out. Pirates just need to win one more against the Cardinals to advance.

Didn't know you followed sports, John (I don't, for the most part), but yeah, the Pirates are kicking some major ass this year. We call it Buctober. 8)

I may drive by SD on my way back. Most of SoCal was like my backyard for 22 years. May spend a night at Torey Pine (Ritz) just to relax.

It's raining very nicely here now.  Should clear up by Thursday night according to Wunderground.

I don't usually follow sports, but my Dad and I have gotten into the MLB Playoffs this year. By the way, Pittsburgh got creamed tonight by St. Louis and I'm happy they did. I hate Pittsburgh. No offense of course. :)

Ugh! What a truly miserable day here in the Burgh! Highs only in the low 40s with on-and-off rain showers. How I dread the thought of the upcoming winter! :(

Just saw this post! No offense taken, but why do you hate Pittsburgh? Or do you mean you just hate the Pirates?

Do you know why Kyjo posts so much on the Lutoslawski, Penderecki, Gorecki and Szymanowski threads? 


Because he loves the Poles. :D :D :D
