So what are your plans for the increase of 3 seconds of light today?

Winter solstice sunset. Days get longer, tomorrow.

Thanks be to Allah, for this shortenizing has gone on long enough.

Every year it is a test.

Every winter we survive, winter fails.

So far.......

Allah is not done with us yet . . . .

It's been damp, and today it is raining. I am playing ground fault interrupter games with my Christmas lights. Since it's been a dark day, I wouldn't know it was longer without you and my calendar. But, even if it doesn't appear longer, it certainly feels that way.

It's getting ready to snow, here. Been getting cloudier all day.

Speaking of day length, how do Anchorage and Fairbanks compare?

 

[thør]

3:41 to 5 1/2.....much darker in FAI.

Last Monday evening.

The two seemed dramatically different when I was there one June. Fairbanks seemed like 20 hours of daylight and 4 of twilight to me. I know that wasn't the official hours, but I couldn't sleep. Anchorage was noticeably better, even though it was days closer to solstice.

You can still read the newspaper outside at midnight in June.

Glad to have made the road trip on Wednesday. Early this morning, the highway is in bad shape.
