Ya, the sun is out quite late right now =) My chickens don't want to go to bed! But then the sun goes down, and you can see _EVERY_ star in the sky. When I walk my trashcan out to the street, its pitch black. I LOVE it.

Reversely it's gonna get dark at 4pm in winter.

It's the same in Poland, in this period of the year the sunset is at 10 pm and dusk at 11.

Who'd a thunk there'd be so many Michiganders on Hacker News?

I'm with ya, I tend to rise with the sun and 5:00 AM gets very old. Morning's like "Can I just sneak by you? Ope[0], sorry 'bout that, didn't mean to wake you up"

[0] I couldn't resist.

I grew up in Michigan. I live in Berlin now, and it’s light to 11:30pm and I can read on my balcony in natural light at 4:30am.
