You certainly notice the lower sun angle in the evenings here now, especially after this past week or two when it's been overcast most of the time.
"This is what 7 pm looks like now?!"
Also, today is the first day with a sunset before 9 pm. The brightest quarter of the year is over
While that may be true in the sheer sense of time (brightest quarter is roughly May 6-August 6) the sun angle and daylight length is still less than 25% of the way between June 21 and December 21, it's actually at about 16-17% of the way. So in the sense of solar angle and day length, it's still the brightest 25% of the year until about August 20-21 after that day length starts dropping dramatically though.
Brightest 25% of the year is roughly about April 21-August 21
I find it depends on the check in staff, some will let you off with excess baggage & if your suitcase is over, others are very strict, even on the same airline...

My mum once got overcharged for being 0.2kg over the limit. That's a bit ridiculous I think.

Anyway i'm just gonna shut up and say nothing, you get nowhere complaining here.
And it isn't excess baggage, Delta charge you for every bag.
I took a sleeping pill last night and even though I got 7 hours of sleep (from about 1 AM-8 AM) I feel groggy as all hell. With these things, you have to get like 10-12 hours of sleep in order to not be groggy.

LOL I read that post without seeing who it was by and I thought naif12's style in writing English had really come on a long way!
Interesting that you draw the line at August 21, because it's around the last ten days of August when I get a sense that the midday sun is definitely starting to become weaker. Even if it's really warm, the sun doesn't feel like a true "summer sun".
