Alaska, land of extremes, finds folks starting to get depressed on June 22nd. The foreboding long slide into darkness begins. Although ever so slightly, the mindset knows what's coming. Combine this with all the damn daylight that won't quit; and the sleep nobody's getting; and relationships can be rough.
It's the darndest thing. On Dec 22nd, the darkest day +1, the mass mood elevates and people rejoice. Spirits lift.
So tonight, the bars, cops, and ER's are doing well in Anchorage.
