The shortest day, the longest night

Photo by Lee Lageschulte

Greetings on the Winter Solstice - the shortest day, the longest night

We've made it through the long, dark nights and now minute by minute the days will be longer every day. You can tell the difference even when there's no sun.

Light at 4pm - thank goodness - and bah humbug to all those 'experts' claiming that standard time is better for us somehow. I want my Daylight Saving Time!

  1. I too welcome the return of the sun. Still, I'm in the camp of those wishing the clocks to be left alone. Standard time is the right time for body and soul.

  3. Sunrise at 9 am is bad for the kiddos who will be waiting at the bus stop in January. But then nobody wants sunrise at 4 am in June as we would get with year round standard time.

    Maybe switching clocks twice a year is the best solution after all.
