RANDOM MUSINGS FROM THE TOP OF THE HILL

IRELAND

It surprised me on my recent trip, how many hours of daylight the Dubliners enjoyed.  On the 21st of June, the "longest day of the year", there are 14 hours and 55 minutes of daylight in Cincinnati, Ohio USA and there are 16 hours and 59 minutes of daylight in Dublin...more than two extra hours.  Of course, there is the other side of the coin.  On December 21st, the capital of Ireland will be limited to 7 hours and 31 minutes of precious sunlight.  That makes for a depressing Winter.
