Spring and Autumnal(sp?) Equinox (supposedly) give you 12 hours of day/night and the Summer and Winter Solstice mark when the days begin to get shorter and longer respectively.

A neat fact is that on the Equinox's you do not actually get 12 hours each, you get more sunlight. This is because the index of refraction of earth's atmosphere is (obviously) greater than the vacuumus space, so light actually 'bends light' as it comes in allowing you to see the sun after it has gone down. Cool eh?

Cheers!

Last summer never ended in Calif. We sometimes don't get any seasons.

That is astrological, I think meteorological summer starts on June 1.

I get out of school May 15th.

Officially its June 21.

Easy to remember since it's my parents anniversary and my birthday

What's odd (in my book) is that I am adopted

That would depend entirely on what part of California you are in.

When the bigfoots come down out of the mountains and start to take the children and old people; it is then the start of summer...
