in the longest days of summer the sun could be up ‘til ten o’clock PM of course the night begins then the street lamps every block or two when those come on we’re expected home that’s nighttime so the sun’s going down around ten that’s PM again and it rises around five AM if it matters so there’s barely seven hours of dark to call night and that puts midnight around one-thirty AM, ya know so while midnight is twelve again AM, yeah twelve AM it’s not really midnight well, it is because midnight is accepted to be twelve AM, I know, but I want to be clear so if nighttime is measured in darkness at least where I am and particularly at this point in the year twelve AM again just isn’t the median - how? at least not of darkness so midnight the whole concept just doesn’t make sense
