We keep hearing about the first day of summer being the “longest
day of the year”. That was a couple of weeks ago I think. It’s nice the way
that works out, ‘cause your grass grows fast in June and it’s really long and
you can cut it until like 9:45 ‘cause it’s still kinda light out. But wait.
What? It’s not the longest day, is it? No. That would be the 25 hour day when
we turn the clocks back. But yeah, I get it. First day of summer is the day
with the most daylight. Yeah. I get that. But don’t call it the longest day. Nobody
even likes long days anyway. (“Man, it’s been a long day. Can we go home yet?”)
Let’s come with a better name for the first day of summer.
How about “The Shortest Night”? I think
that name is still available.
