3. It's 9:40 am and the sun is shining bright here
Don't know how long it will last, I just know that I'm sick of the dreary cold wet weather. Where is here? Just about 30 miles north of Detroit.

4. Sunset around 3:30 pm (ish). Got another 45 minutes or so.
(Not that you can see it through the clouds, rain, & sleet being driven by the gales)

6. I hate this time of year
I go to work in the dark and drive home in the dark. Thankfully, it's about to reverse course...yay for Tuesday.

12. I used to live in Germany for three years
and this time of year always depressed me. However, in the spring I was over-stimulated by all the sunlight.

BTW, it has been sunny here for the past week; colder than heck, even freezing overnight, but hey, it's sunny!

14. Sunlight deprivation...
It's just getting to me this week and the longer days begin Wednesday. In years past I got S.A.D. on Halloween and stayed that way til New Years. This year we had a l-o-n-g and beautiful "Indian summer" which somehow took the sting out of the shortening days until yesterday when I realized the light had the sunset thing at TWO O'CLOCK IN THE AFTERNOON.
Blech. x(

17. I can deal with florescents in the bathroom
but anywhere else they creep me out after an hour or so.

Why can't we all just STAY on DAYLIGHT TIME???

NIGHT has long since fallen. THUD. And it stopped raining. (What I mean is there are still droplets coming down but you can't HEAR them and prolly wouldn't bother to go back for an umbrella).

I've adopted a new relationship with rain, we're in a "schale" and the weather is extraordinary in its volatility. I've been entertained ENTIRE AFTERNOONS watching it change from driving rain, wind, dark clouds, bright sunlight, rainbows and hail, ALL in the matter of several hours.

Enough lamenting the passing of daylight. T.G.I.F.!!! Stay tuned for the "Friday Night News Dump" brought to you by your local *corp media cartel...
