We passed a milestone this week

Really. As of Tuesday, the sunset began to come a little bit later each day. Depending on what time of day you're on the move, you may not have noticed, because the sunrise will also be getting a little bit later every day for another three weeks before it changes it a more positive direction.

This is one more in the eye for deities, who should certainly have arranged things so that at the winter solstice, everythings hits minimum at once and then gets better. but noo: first the sunsets get better, then the sunrises, and meantime the really cold weather hasn't even shown up yet.

At any rate, this, tiny increment of positive change shows that summer will come back...eventually.

Happy Festivus!
