Saturday, December 22, 2012:

Well, the world was supposed to end by this day, according to some.  The joke was on them!

The sun came up and birds were chirping at the feeder.  Who could want more?

There was a weather forecast from earlier in the week saying the temperature on Saturday was going to be 1100 degrees.  To some that might have been a nice change as the weather has been a bit cool recently.
 
Sunset behind the landmark water tower on the 21st in Brainerd heralded the beginning of the longest night of the year.  In all, there were just 8 hours and 35 minutes of day with 15 hours and 25 minutes of darkness. This is the official beginning of winter, also know as the Winter Solstice. 

Brainerd sunrise:  7:57 AM, sunset: 4:32 PM.

On the good side, the days will start getting a little longer every day as night yields to day.

 
Quote of the day:  The world is still here.   Mark    < Back to previous story Ahead to next story >
