strange that your getting sunsets at 9:22pm....you must be that farther down...or closer to the time line change...perhaps...what a gip

No - farther 'up' actually.... the more north you go, the longer the summer days get, and the shorter the winter days get.
If you recall my entry last September where my brother and I drove up to Alaska for one day (just tyo say we've been there, to get Hyderized, and to see the glacier) I remarked at how when we were walking back from dinner to the hotel and saw that the sun was setting, I looked at my watch, and it was something like 10:45!
Apparently only a few hours north of there is where "The Land of the Midnight Sun" starts.
I just checked it out on the map... do you know of Anticosti Island, directly north of P.E.I, just before Quebec? Vancouver's at the exact same latitude, amazingly enough... and YOU'RE the once that get icebergs! Go figure!
