I know!  It isn't dark at 9 down here.  Must be because Maine is further East or something.  It doesn't get dark until 930 - 945 depending on what time of the summer it is. 
Crazy, ain't it!?
						
                        
					
				
					
					Headed to beautiful Raton, NM for a balloon rally. Missed it last year, but the pilot said it was fun so I decided to head up there this year. I would imagine they'll probably have fireworks on Saturday night. There will be plenty of beer (always with balloonists). Pretty good chance we'll be tailgating after the flights too. Definitely a good time.
