Happy Winter Solstice...

No, this isn't about pagan celebrations.

Tonight is the Winter Solstice - the longest night of the year.  On the bright side, starting tomorrow, we will start gaining a couple minutes a day of daylight.

Living as far south as we do (latitude 26), it isn't unbearable.  When we lived in the frozen northland, it would be dark until close to 8:00 am and start getting dark again around 4:20.  That meant we went to work in the dark, and came home in the dark.  Of course, being retired, and this far south, means that we start to see the daylight just before 7:00 am and sunset is around 5:40... and don't worry about work.  ;-)
