Summer Solstice on Thursday


Just so you don't forget to wear sunscreen, this year's summer solstice is Thursday.  The click-of-the-moment will be at 5:07 am CDT, which I fully intend to celebrate by sleeping in for approximately another hour.

Later in the day beginning at 4:30 pm CDT, the BBC will begin their annual shortwave midwinter broadcast to Antartica.  You can find some more details, including frequencies, over at The SWLing Post.  I plan to celebrate this event by leaving work sometime during the subsequent hour.  Were it not for the blasts of RF noise from some as-yet-unlocated source in my neighborhood around that time of day, I'd probably come home early and give it a try.
