Winter Solstice

As I'm sure many of you know, today is the winter solstice.  AKA; the shortest day of the year.  Sunrise is 7:10 am and sunset is 4:15 in the afternoon.  That's right; in the afternoon!  It's still the afternoon when we lose our favorite ambient light source!  But thankfully that will begin to change - very slowly of course, but still; the days will begin to get a tiny bit longer each day.

That's the great news.  The bad news is that today is also the official start of Winter, so while our days will be getting slightly longer, they'll also be getting colder and snowier.  (It's already been a shitty season so far; lots of salt and black ice, meaning the bike has been parked for a few weeks...hence the onset of winter anxiety I'm feeling).

Oh well, we gotta take the good with the bad I guess.
