Yes they are. And today is supposed to hit the 50's. I may make it
through the winter yet.

Nope.....not until tomorrow.

Do you know why all the sun gods like JC were born on Dec 25th? It's
purely astrological. That's the day after the Winter solstice the sun
moves, perceptably with the naked eye, north 1 degree, being "born again".

"Born Again Christians", I'd say 99% of them, have no idea what that, or
the Pisces fish on the back of their minivans actually means,
astrologically. They get mad as hell if you tell 'em, though! They like
living in a mental vacuum that doesn't upset the apple cart.

The Earth ISN'T 6000 years old, either. That really sets 'em off!

Frankly, I had no idea "JC" was born on December 25th. I have no idea
why any Jewish mother would give birth on that day. Also, I work hard to
avoid evangelical entanglements.

Who says Christ was born on Dec 25? That's just the day his birth is
celebrated. There is considerable evidence Dec 25 was picked as an
alternative to the pagan celebrations to the solstice, though.

Don't confuse Larry with facts.

It upsets his medication regimen and his social worker has to make him
a new tin foil hat.

We're talking religion here. No facts.

A lot of people don't appreciate that the change occurs in very small
increments at first, and then accelerates as we approach vernal
equinox. The rate of chage decelerates again as we approach the "far
turn" at the summer solstice.

At your latitude, you officially pick up 1 minute tomorrow, but 14
days out you have picked up only a total of 8 minutes additional
dayling.
Contrast that rate of change with the increase in daylight between the
2nd and third month......two months from now you will enjoy 1 hour and
37 minutes more daylight, and just a month later you will be enjoying
just six minutes shy of 3 more hours than today. Your difference at
the Summer Solstice will be 5 hours and 32 minutes more daylight than
yesterday.

Chuck, I think Harry was going to blame the whole thing on Global Warming
caused by George.

You've definitely popped that balloon.
