You'll probably re-think that because if they go sixty days with total darkness, I'm sure they go sixty days with total daylight.

I once worked a midnight to 8:00 AM shift for about 6 weeks in January where I rarely saw the sun. You'd get used to it.

I would have a hell of a time in Alaska.

When I was child, I loved lateral thinking puzzle books. This was subject of one of the puzzles. A teenager asked his parents to go to a party.
