Silly Site o' the Day

Happy summer solstice, everyone! In the Eastern time zone of the US it arrives at around 9 this evening. I had no idea the tradition of June weddings goes back to ancient solstice celebrations. I also found it amusing that in NYC a modern summer solstice tradition will be marked by a fellow named Winter. Here are some more fun facts about the summer solstice. Having overheard one half of a quite loud and amazingly inappropriate cell phone conversation on a public bus last night, Robin and I know that at least a few people will be celebrating the solstice in northwestern Union County, NJ in a rather unusual and prurient-sounding manner, and would like to advise any interested parties to go to the Summit train station at 5 PM, look for the fellow in the yellow jacket, and follow him and Jose, and the towel he's bringing for Jose, to a place where there is guaranteed to be "no touching or fondling."
