Last night at 9:30 PM PST, the Winter Solstice occurred, marking the
Southernmost point on the Sun's "journey" back and forth across the
Earth's equator. Of course, the Sun is not journeying at all, but
that's how we view it.
Where I live (38 degrees 47 minutes North latitude), we get nine
hours, twenty-eight minutes of sunshine today.
Happy "Festival of Sunreturn", Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah (or
whoever you like to spell that), Kwanza or any other Winter Holiday.
Cheers,
Alan Shank
