This Sunday, June 21 is the summer solstice for 2020. This is the day that the Sun reaches its northernmost peak from the Equator. It is actually directly above the Tropic of Capricorn. The northern hemisphere experiences the longest day (most daylight) of the year. Unfortunately, the days get shorter from here on in. Within the Arctic Circle, they experience 24 hours of sunlight on this day while in the Southern Hemisphere everything is the opposite. This year it matches with Father’s Day so we get to celebrate our dads all day long.
Canadian Sports Trivia Answer Wayne Gretzky won the National Hockey League’s Most Valuable Player award 9 times in the 1980s. He won from 1980 to 1987 and again in 1989.
TMI The world is full of acronyms TMI (Too Much Information) is one of them. I often put some pretty personal things in The Valley Peak and on occasion, someone will mention that it might not be that good of an idea. But I like to be fairly open in life. I think that everyone should know that we all have difficulties to work through in life. It has been very interesting finding out how many folks suffer with kidney issues and we all know there are many, many people affected by cancer. And I do get many compliments on how I write with honesty and from the heart. Thanks for those who notice.
Self Serve I asked my surgeon if I could administer my own anesthetic. She said, “Go ahead, knock yourself out.”
