There are two DMV offices to pick from where I live. One is about a 40 minute drive north in Redding and always busy. The other is about 20 minutes south, in Red Bluff, and usually quiet/less busy. Even people who live in Redding will sometimes go to Red Bluff for their DMV business.
To be fussy: the time of the solstice is the same world-wide, northern and southern hemisphere.
What differs is the length of the daylight: It’s the longest day in the northern hemisphere but the shortest in the southern (where it’s a “winter” solstice). The sun is up all day inside the arctic circle and below the horizon all day in the antarctic.
I just want to know what they are doing with all the time we are saving during DST. I hope they are investing it wisely in an interest bearing account somewhere and not wasting it at a strip club making it rain.

The longest day might be today with my 3 & 5 year olds fighting already and it’s not even 7:30. If they keep it up it will be a long day-for them.

Time waits for no one. Treasure every moment you have. You will treasure it even more when you can share it with someone special.

I always thought Daylight Savings were the longest and shortest days. 25 hours after we turn the clock back and 23 when we turn the clock forward.

Daylight Savings is something the World does not need. The days still are the same; it is the clocks that are different.

The longest day doesn’t merely coincide with the solstice, it’s the definition of the solstice!
