Have
you ever had a day so special that you hated to see it end? Maybe you’ve wished
for two back-to-back Saturdays. Who wouldn’t enjoy that a few times per year?
Someone’s getting that kind of wish this week. Based on the TV commercials, it
sounds like we’re having at least two Black Fridays. It’s a retailer’s
dream. Hope your Thanksgiving meal wasn’t
derailed by guests leaving to catch the store sales. We’re not likely to
see two days repeated, but this is close:

On
certain days during the Arctic summer, sunlight can last for twenty-four hours.
Over time the sun bobs just above the horizon, floats up and down in the sky,
but never allows night to settle in. Think about all the shopping that could be
finished during that time—if there were places to shop in the Arctic.
Some
people say twenty-four hours in a day should be enough time to accomplish our
to-do lists, but no one mentions how half of those hours are at nighttime. If
you could transport the Arctic’s midnight sun phenomenon to your neighborhood,
how and where would you spend your extra daylight hours?
