Longer Days Coming

They say that today's date brings the shortest day...or is it the longest night of the year?. [I suppose it's a question of
whether your hour glass is half full or half empty]. It is 12.15 in the afternoon and so gloomy out there it looks like it's
going to be the shortest day of the millenium. Coming to Canada from a place near the Equator...where the sun seemed to set on cue at 6 o'clock...after having risen about 12 hours earlier...one of the never before experienced aspects of my
new country...in addition to the winter cold...was the shortness of the "sunlight" hours...during the winter...which left you
with a condition that could be called "light deprivation". Anyway...it's good to know that from tomorrow...the days will be
getting slightly longer...and before you know it...we will no longer be "deprived".....................Quester.
