On the bright side ( pun intended ) summer days last until 9 PM.

That is ONE of the things I love about living in the PNW, getting light out at 4:45 AM and dark at 10:30 PM in the summer.

This is also what I found MUCH more difficult about living in Minneapolis (for about five years), than the cold and snow. The fucking DARK, by 4:45pm.

Sure, summers are great. That is why I have recommend places like Alaska and Scotland for summer vacation spots (the length of the day alone!!!). But the length of darkness of winter takes purposely getting used to (IMO). I kinda dread leaving work in the afternoon when it is already dark outside, until I get into my winter routine.

Filet and lobster tail at the hotel steakhouse was about perfect. Steak was med-rare and tender. Lobster tail was even better. I expected cafeteria food at an all inclusive, and we got some, but not tonight.
