    If you want to read a fascinating book, I'd recommend "Time Lord" by Clark Blaise about Sir Sanford Fleming, the man who not just invented standard time and time zones but convinced the world to adopt them. All this because he missed a train.

    Fleming also oversaw the building of the transcontinental railroad in Canada.

    Around solstice, twilight hangs around until 10:30, even 11 some nights, in my location.

    It can really screw with a sleeping pattern.
