Sunshine

Today is the day with the most daylight of the year, at least in our northern hemisphere section of the world. As I sit on the porch (working from home today to visit the dentist this afternoon), the sun is just rising above the tree line. Its rays are starting to angle through the leaves, turning them from dark green to an almost luminous lime green.

Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants.... - Justice Louis Brandeis

A nice quote... sunlight, as with most things is good when taken in moderation. Of course, you don't want to get sunburn!

Natural light is the best light to see by. This is the line of thought that the Sunlight Foundation is looking to exploit with their efforts to expose the inner workings of the political world. As noted by the Hitchhiker Team, the Sunlight Foundation has three blogs:

• Sunspots
• Under the Influence
• Dollarocracy

So in the spirit of sunshine, sun light, the longest daylight of the year and especially protection against the disease of not knowing, check out the Sunlight Foundation!
