Arizona's sunlight hours. 4:30AM

This was this one year that I spent, every Thursday, going down to Arizona after work. I would arrive just before 5:30 and sit down in eager anticipation of Spin The Wheel. Now for those that don't know, Spin The Wheel goes from 5:30-6:30 and gives you a 50% chance of winning free fries, drinks on us or 2 for 1. This can be very excellent when you buy a round and return (often in more than one trip) with two beers for everyone.

Now on this particular year over summer, every Thursday, I would meet Martin at Arizona and we would sit outside and try our luck at spin the wheel as we caught up over the weeks goss. For some reason our luck seemed good this year. Now Arizona is spaced in town between many tall buildings and as such it only gets a thin slither of sun coming between the buildings at certain times of the day. That year I managed to map out the sunlight hours. At its peak you would get 15 minutes of sunlight that raced past as you sat outside on the street. That was it. Then it became colder. Anyway it was an excellent way to pass the time and I was reminded as I am meeting Steve there for beer this night and he was wondering if it would be seeing sun.

Ahhh today is a glorious day, the first following many days of rain
