Summer Solstice

Today, as many know, is an important Druid holiday. Many take off work, or should, to celebrate. What’s to celebrate? Easy that, after today, the part of the Earth the CB is situated on is fixing to tilt away from the direct stare of Ogma Sunface. This means the days gradually get shorter, and conversely, the nights get longer.

Some recognize that Earth, the home planet of many, orbits Ogma Sunface. At Summer Solstice, the Earth has made it half way around Ogma. But that’s only if you consider where Earth was about 180 days ago as the starting point. Which only makes relative sense.

Here’s a paradox for those in these parts troubled by the Demon Heat. Earth is closest to Ogma Sunface in January. That should make y’all feel cooler.


Today concludes the most Hell-like Spring of Crumby’s experience, ever. All spring the CB received two inches of rain. The plants are dormant. The bugs are dormant. Crumby is dormant. Only the hoofrats gambol about, thriving on handouts.
