Sunlight, my friend, my foe.

I love daytime. I get up when the sun does, unless, like now, I stay up until 1am. The sun has started to rise at about 5:45am. This is not good when I want to sleep until 7am.

What does this mean for Alaska?

Are you serious? This doesn't include DUST folks. I am told it gets "dim" but never dark. If the sunset is 11pm, and dusk lasts at a minimum of ONE hour, that means MIDNIGHT gets "dark". LEST WE FORGET THE MOON. May 19th is a FULL MOON.

I may need to bring a large sombrero to get some shuteye.

Almost all men, and those that seem to be very miserable, love life, because they cannot bear to lose sight of such a beautiful and lovely world. The ideas, that every moment whilst we live have a beauty that we take not distinct notice of, brings a pleasure that, when we come to the trial, we had rather live in much pain and misery than lose. -Jonathan Edwards
