Let There Be Light!

In case you haven't noticed the days have been getting shorter and shorter and the nights longer and longer. Tonight the sun will be gone for 16.4 hours and tomorrow it will appear for 7.8 hours. We might as well live in Lapland or on the North Slope! But take heart, tomorrow is the winter solstice when the sun has moved as far away as possible and starts to move back and that means longer days and shorter nights! Or is it that the Earth begins to tilt back to where it needs to be for summer to happen here in the northern hemisphere. And keep in mind that before long we will celebrate the vernal equinox and the summer solstice! Isn't that nice!
