Ahem, Joel, consider the location of "the land of the midnight sun..."


That's why I said 'during the periods when the sun never sets' -- it's about
half the year with no light, and half with no darkness, no? :-)

After all, during the 'no light' periods he doesn't have to run the air
condtioner anyway, right? Just kidding!
