Well, yesterday at work did feel like the longest day, but what I mean is that yesterday was also the first day of summer (summer solstice), which is the day where the sun rises earliest and sets the latest.
Solstice is an old word meaning "sun standing still".
For a few days, the sunset time won't change, but will then start getting shorter as we then move toward winter.
Brrrrrr.
Get me my parka.
If you know about the 23.5 degree tilt of the Earth's axis, you know why this all happens.
Off to jerk,
