Oh dang, that’s right. Now the days start to shorten again. That sucks.

Dear Sunken,

Have you ever questioned the validity of “the first day of summer”, when it is at the top of ‘the roller coaster ride’?

Now, have you questioned the validity of ‘the first day of Winter’, when it is at the exact bottom of the roller coaster ride?

Now, to finish, consider the equinoxes, the platforms that you enter and exit the roller coaster cars.
