Sunny Day, Short Day

Sunrise (here at latitude 42.834 N) was at 7:22 this morning. Sunset was at 4:23, which made for a day of 9 hours and one minute. Tomorrow, being the solstice, we lose that minute. (But then things turn around.)
A day is somewhat shorter up in Kagawong (latitude 46 N, or roughly 180 nautical miles closer to the pole. (N.B. Above the arctic circle the sun does not show its face until March. But there’s lots more sunlight this time of year way down yonder, in Texas.)
And, speaking of nautical miles, it helps to remember that one minute of latitude equals one nautical mile, and that one nautical mile equals 1.15 statute miles. Therefore, as a result of calculation, Kaqawong is 207 car miles north of W-H2O (and quite a bit to the east). (Driving there form here puts about 750 regular miles on the odometer.)
