Twenty-three point five...

...is how tilted we, as earthlings, are.  Happy Solstice, everyone.

The earth's tilt, of course, causes short days and long nights here in the northern hemi in winter. There's hardly enough time these days to walk the dog around the block before it gets dark. But we carry on.

Pretty much a flat 9 hours of daylight (out of 24) here at the latitude of Whitewater. Better in Texas, worse on Manitoulin. This can cause seasonal affective disorder. But it helps to remember that we are at the turning point, and that we are headed towards summer! As the old saying goes, "The sun never sets on a Kagawong summer."
