Here's to 2026!

The year we finally send humans back around the moon!
Also, the Olympics.
Also... an extra long summer! Just learned about the phenomenon where every 5-10 years there is a summer where memorial day is as early as possible, and labor day is as late as possible, resulting int like 106 days of summer, instead of the normal 98 or 99 days. I only found this out because the cabin we rent "the first full week of august" had us staying August 8-15, so I emailed the owner and they explained the fluke they have to plan around every few years.
