I’ve lived in Finland for most of my 40-odd years but I can never get over how weird the nightless nights feel at the beginning of every summer.

It’s 3am and this is as about as dark as it gets. That just ain’t right, it ain’t natural. Makes a person wish for thicker curtains

    It’s funny yesterday it was almost 9 in New York state and I was looking out my windows thinking how bright it is for so late but at least it gets dark by 9 in the summer.

    I kinda feel like we have a nice balance at this latitude. Long long days but we still get a night.

    Whenever I visit family in Puerto Rico it always felt strange to me that even on the summer the sun is down by 6. Makes the summer feel less special
