Odd things about being a (fairly) recent Alaska transplant — this last weekend was summer solstice, and I didn’t even really notice. While I don’t think I’ll ever be moving back to Alaska, the summertimes really are some of what I miss. Seattle’s solstice (sunrise at 5:11am, sunset at 9:11pm) really pales in comparison to Anchorage’s (sunrise at 4:20am, sunset at 11:42pm)!
