Latitude

So, being farther north on the globe than Ohio... I'm still not quite sure how I feel about this. The plus side is that in the middle of the summer it's still light at 10:00, which is awesome. Of course, I kind of missed that by going to Turkey for the summer. And at the moment, it's completely dark by the time I finish work at 5:00 (maybe I should say 17:00). And there's still over a month to go before we get to the shortest days, when it's dark by about 4:00. It's really depressing, and kind of scary too. Shops here close at 5 or 5:30, so it's pretty deserted when I'm walking home after the library closes (email is my lifeline!) at 7, or after my course at work on thursdays finishes at 9, or walking up to line dance at 8 on wednesdays... it's funny, I never worried to much about walking around the ghetto of CrAkron at 10:00 at night, but walking through Salisbury at 6:30 is just plain creepy. Anyhow, I guess my point was- it's dark really really early and I don't like it.
