My friend Jan Null tracks heatstroke deaths of children in vehicles. There have already been twelve of those deaths this year. For more important information from Jan, go here.

  1. The solstice is at 1:04 a.m. on the 21st EDT; 10:04 p.m. on the 20th PDT. So summer begins on Friday, not today. Even in CDT.

  4. This piece links to Jan Nulls which pertains to the Pacific time zone. Isn't today the 20th? What am I missing?
