Interesting post, Faldage. I had no clue on the sunsets.

BobYB, great question, I'd love to know if there's any connection.

Meanwhile, any of y'all heard about the solstice "rolling blackout" that folks are proposing to protest energy waste? (get thee behind me, Dubya). The idea is to eschew electricity between 7 and 10 pm, local time -- starts with y'all, I guess, MaxQ.

Now, if I get one more E-mail about this, I will scream. But the idea is cool.
