Since we are fast approaching the summer solstice (Thursday, June 20, 2008, at 11:53pmUTC; UTC or Coordinated Universal Time is the formal designation for GMT or Greenwich Mean Time) I make it a habit to go to check my Weather Desktop for when sunset occurs. Since almost every state in the USA requires drivers to turn-on their automobile headlights thirty (30) minutes before sunset, I use that as my basic guide as to whether or not a game should continue. If it is overcast, thirty minutes before sunset may be too late to end a game, it is a starting point for me.
