quicko: seasonally challenged

Guess what today was!

(This is the part where you take a guess. A mental guess is okay, though the real troopers out there will use this nicely provided opportunity to scribble down their hunches in order to prove just how right they were. Okay. Set? Good.)

The first day of summer!! Not only do you have to flip flop the seasons down here, you also (this is truly tricky) have to then move the day back by 21. Throw in time change and it’s enough to make your cerebral globe spin.

I’ll clarify: December 1 is the first day of summer. March 1 is the first day of fall (except they like to call it autumn). June 1 is the first day of winter. September 1 is the first day of spring.

Yeah, we’ll leave time change for a different day.
