> Another interesting thing to remember is that the North is often called the "land of the midnight sun" because in summer, in the far north, the sun sometimes doesn't set at all. Edmonton isn't quite that far north, but we do get our share of days when the sun doesn't set until around 11:00 pm and rises at around 5:30 am. Unfortunately, this works the other way around as well, so now, even with Daylight Savings Time, I go to school in the dark, and come home in the dark. Within a month or so I'm going to be wishing I still remembered what sunlight is supposed to look like!

I go to work and come home in the dark most days right now. I used to live in a place far enough north that we only got about three hours of darkness at night in the middle of the summer... And because of Daylight Savings time and our messed up Time Zone, we did have sunlight at midnight.

> It's kind of silly. We live /right next/ to the Rocky Mountains, and yet /just/ so far away from them that we can't see them! I think it would be cool to have mountains on the horizon. Oh, well. I'll be more optimistic about the way Edmonton looks when we get /new/ snow to replace this gunky brownish stuff.

PTTHHHTHTHTBBBBTHTHTHTHBBHTHTHBHTHT! I can see the Rocky Mountains from all over MY city. I can even drive to them in about an hour! :-p

> Congratulations on the Air Patrol thing, by the way!

I have to agree there...
