I haven't had a chance to read anything anywhere today --so I'm not sure what you're talking about. I suppose I could go look though huh? This is the first time the city has tried this. Tom's (that's the man who lives in this house) on the youth commission and it was his idea; therefore it means *I* get to do some (some??) of the grunt work. We're not sure how many volunteers there will be (did someone say Andrew??? ) to help with other things (mainly concessions, kid control, passing out flyers for the sponsors etc) so for the first one they're using Frontyard Features to provide the screen and sound and run the movie. The hunting reference is a great point. Although, to me, it does seem that time of year may play into it -- because doesn't it seem as though it gets darker faster in the winter than in the spring and summer. Not that this is relevant to anything of course -- but during deer season, it seems that dark comes faster at official sunset.

I'm sorry I don't have an answer about when it gets dark but I'm curious: does this have anything to do with the guy who was written up in the paper today with the outdoor movies? I just think he has a grand idea. Have fun with your movie night.

We're planning an outdoor movie night for our city on September 19 and no one is sure when it will actually be dark if sunset is 7:02. Does "Dark" differ depending on the time of year? This also fits in with the idea of the night time cache being discussed earlier. Chicken wings and brown rice - last night's dinner -- which no longer makes this post completely off topic. Nancy BTW -- Andrew -- we'll expect to see you all there!
