Happy Autumnal Equinox!
On this day we’ll get as close it’s possible to get to an equal division of daylight/darkness. If, like me, you get a little kick from tossing out bits of scientific trivia about the equinox, not caring whether you come across as a giant geo-nerd, here’s a good place to pick up some nuggets:

If you’d like to be a bit more entertaining and pop-science-y with your equinox trivia, then go to Vox.com for a listicle with “8 Things to Know about the First Day of Autumn”:

Keep that dehumidifier running! Sooner or later, some crisp, clear fall weather days must come along.
