Spot on! I did a 5200 mile xcountry trip end of April and I've been longing to get back on the road since. Actually just kicking around ideas for a week or so on the road sometime end of July/early August. It's addicting......
Well, you better stay to the North then. The Southern states will be toasty. We've been having some weird weather this week. Those hail boulders on Sunday/Monday. Dewpoint of 80° today (Houston's was 81°) with 95° air temps gave a Hx of 120°. Like living in a swamp.

It was on TV a few months ago. Obviously watched it AGAIN !. Never fails to make me laugh. I could watch the Town Hall meeting on a loop. I must admit the first time i watched it i thought it was a Documentary.

Do they cut out certain questionable parts over there? Movies like this get censored to the point where it's pointless to watch. I can't remember the last time it was available to watch over here. Too many snowflakes.

Today is the first day of summer in the Northern Hemisphere, or as Neil deGrasse Tyson would call it, the summer solstice. You might think, “If today is the solstice…then what the heck is an equinox?” Here’s a cheat sheet:

A solstice occurs when one of the Earth’s poles (today, it’s the north) tilts toward the sun at the maximum angle. The two solstices, in December and June, mark the beginning of winter and summer and give us the longest days and nights of the year.
Equinoxes are essentially the opposite of solstices. Deriving from the Latin for “equal night,” the equinox is when the sun is directly over the equator, leading to roughly the same amount of day and night. Spring and fall begin on equinoxes.

So, the Aztecs knew how to measure the inclination of the earth's axis… and we now invent artificial intelligence, to ask what an equinox is….
