Ever since I left home photos are centered and large, no matter what I tell it.</p>
<p>In Fairbanks the sun rose this morning at 3:46 and will set 20 hours and 6 minutes later at 11:52. The days are still getting longer, but not as fast; tomorrow will be only 6 hours 30 sec longer than today. Temperature? As of right now, 5 am Alaska time, it&#8217;s 48 °F but the forecast says 81°F for the high. Again, I’m not experiencing this. I’m in Boston (well, Cambridge) for my 50th Harvard reunion. Here it gets dark at night and I can enjoy the unusual combination of warm temperatures and dark skies. (Well, it&#8217;s supposed to be warm by the end of the week.) The day is only 14 hours 58 minutes long here. It&#8217;s warmed up, according to what&#8217;s on line&#8211;forecasts high73°F  today, and it&#8217;s already (9 am local time) 54 °.</p>
<p>That said, the skies are clear, I am hooked up to wifi, and as soon as I get some essential shopping done I&#8217;ll check on and answer comments from yesterday.</p>
