Sky Fact for Today:Earth is appraching Perihelion (closest to the sun for the year in its slightly elliptical orbit) on January 4.
This means that the dark time is ending as we crawl toward the year's longest day. I suffer terribly at this time of year. Driving rush hour traffic at the midnight of 5pm makes me crazy. My plan? Get out for diverse enjoyments through the rest of this month. Exercise more. Eat only nice things. Do pleasant work.
In the bleak midwinter Frosty wind made moan, Earth stood hard as iron, Water like a stone; Snow had fallen, snow on snow, Snow on snow, In the bleak midwinter, Long ago. — Christina Rossetti
