Gatekeeper's Cryptic Question in Summer Knight

That was my initial line of reasoning. My hang-up is that it was not referenced again. It would make sense that the Gatekeeper needs to be good with time if the time at the Outer Gates move differently, but Harry visited the Gates in CD with no discernible loss or gain of time. It is either a subtle reference to midsummer solstice like wardenferry said or planted seed that has not yet sprouted.
Rasins:
How long was it between the Wouncil meeting and the battle in Chicago-over-Chicago?
Talby16:
I'll have to go check to be sure, but a couple of days. The battle happens near the midsummer solstice when the stone table switches from summer to winter.

The Outer Gates are not the Stone Table.. Time is important at the Table because it is tied to the change of seasons, which happens during the solstice...

Right!
June 11 is about 9 or 10 days from the Summer Solstice. For the last 20 years the Summer Solstice has been on June 20th or 21st.
Something fishy?
