This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Only in the weeks surrounding the Solstice. Summer is three months long.

Yeah, but it's disingenuous to call the equinox summer. By late August the days are getting noticeably shorter.

It’s not disingenuous to call summer time summer. Summer this year ends August 31st.
