Well this conversation takes me back to one of my life's most innocent and embarrassing moments.  Was definitely in my younger years when gas stations quit having attendants pump your gas.  I did not

Out here only those who love xmas get into it. southern hemisphere celebrate to get that winter feel. 2-3 years ago it was 80 on xmas eve here, its didnt feel normal. I was in shorts, crazy but a nice change 

I remember that Christmas...some of us attended our Christmas parties in shorts and flip-flops...

crazy weather for New York. Speaking of "crazy"....there was a chain of stores called "Crazy Eddie's" that held a "Christmas in August" sale every year!

It looks so cute and cuddly... but I bet a drop bear could take it...?

 

On a more serious note, someone once told my bro when he was doing his drive around the US holiday... you can always pick the Aussie tourists... someone yells "bear" and everyone runs for cover and the Aussies get out their cameras... are you really and Aussie @Whispers??

That bear is tagged, same ones around for years. Some get shot by the hunters, a couple have 3 legs. Just gotta watch when mamma bear is out with cubs. I watched my fair share of Crocodile Dundee jo ;)

We have such a diverse population here from all over the globe and so I'm wondering at this date July 2nd ; what time does it get dark where you live? I mean dark - not just sundown or twilight but a dark sky.

 

Where I am it doesn't get dark for long this time of year. Maybe around 10:30 PM then it starts getting light at around 3:30 AM. The benefits is that as you are laying in bed half asleep at 3:30 AM, you can hear birds chirping constantly. You just don't hear that any other time of year :) Some of the places I have done field work in it doesn't even get dark at all in late June. The sun dips just below the horizon then .... right back up ? I'm just curious as to what others experience. I know in the southern hemisphere (Jo & GITW) it will be the least amount of daylight this time of year but that's fine. It's just the reverse of North America.

It gets completely dark here a little after 9:00pm currently. And the birds start chirping most nights around 2:00-3:00am. One in particular that is super loud and needs to move on so we can sleep lol

We don’t have them, it’s insane. 

We have sand gnats for days though...

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
