    The summer solstice was at 12:12 a.m. NDT (0242 UTC) June 21,
    sp here in Newfoundland June 20 and June 21 about tie for the
    longest day and tonight, the night of June 20/21 is the shortest night.

    June 21 is National Indigenous Peoples Day in Canada and
    will be celebrated here in St. John’s in Bannerman Park
    with a sunrise ceremony beginning at 6 a.m., in 2.3 hours,
    and later some performances also in Bannerman Park,
    I think beginning at noon (or maybe 11 a.m.?).

    I’m hoping for results from my latest mystic attempt but if
    it fails I won’t try again until after new/dark moon, and
    hopefully the world won’t have gone to hell in a hand
    basket before then.

    That mystic attempt failed, but given the attack of the US
    on Iran earlier tonight I am trying again tonight, but don’t
    really expect success until just after Raven new/dark moon.
