Welcome To Reader Rant Week of June 15th-June 21st, 2014 Two important events this week! Father's Day and the First Day of Summer! Time to make dad feel special and dust off the summer gear-maybe plan a nice vacation for Dad.  One of my favorite memories of my dad was when he would take me to trade shows. It was a special time just for me and my dad. He's been gone 11 years now, and I miss him as much as ever. He raised 4 teenaged girls with only one bathroom and one phone line all on his own-without going too crazy. Love you, Dad! ![[Linked Image from gerberchildrenswearblog.com]](http://gerberchildrenswearblog.com/resources/uploads/2013/05/dad_351549_7.jpg) ![[Linked Image from northdelawhere.happeningmag.com]](http://northdelawhere.happeningmag.com/wp-content/uploads/SummerSolstice.jpg) The summer solstice occurs when the tilt of a planet's semi-axis, in either the northern or the southern hemisphere, is most inclined toward the star (sun) that it orbits. Earth's maximum axial tilt toward the sun is 23° 26'. This happens twice each year, at which times the sun reaches its highest position in the sky as seen from the north or the south pole.
The summer solstice occurs during a hemisphere's summer. This is northern solstice in the northern hemisphere and the southern solstice in the southern hemisphere. Depending on the shift of the calendar, the summer solstice occurs some time between December 20 and December 23 each year in the southern hemisphere and between June 20 and June 22 in the northern hemisphere.[4] source Have a great week, Ranters!

Hey Phil.
I admit to being intrigued by the spectacle
But also a little intimidated to know how to prepare
Do you know of a good page to get a feel for that
Also in an anazing bit of coincidence
I happened to accidentally be present at the first
Burning man. Which happened on baker beach in San Francisco
Who knew that it would grow into this phenomena

We did a search for burning man instructions and came up with tons of information. If you get to the point of going contact men and we can talk

One night at Cheers, Cliff Clavin said to his buddy, Norm Peterson:
"Well, ya see, Norm, it's like this...
A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members! In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine! That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers."

Welp, the free market has got to have some flexibility if anybody expects it to work worth a feck, don't it?

"... In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine! That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers." Thus, my belief is with Science.
