Solstice is 0704 UT tomorrow, so for those of us east of Seattle the Solstice is
after midnight.

Today, (or is it tomorrow?) has the least daylight for those of us in the North,
it has the most for our inverted brethren down South.

However, it does not have the latest/earliest sunrise/sunset as one might
expect. Since the actual time of local noon varies up to 15 minutes through the
year, the earliest sunset up North is about Dec. 8, the latest sunrise is about
Jan 5. If this doesn't make sense, search on "equation of time" or check out:

Happy Solstice, Everyone!

OK you Down Under Sailors.

Time to start the Sun back to us. Enjoy your Solstice but it is time to
send the Sun Back North. Today is the Day.
