That doesn't sound like a fun morning, Fred. Hope getting the port i easy and having it helps!
Best wishes for your friend and family, Tep
Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
David, Solstice was at 2:02am. Today will be a fraction of a second longer than yesterday.

Thank god the days will get longer! I really can’t handle the sun not coming up until almost 8am. Hard enough to roll myself out of bed with the gray and the wet. (Though to be fair, I think the dark has somewhat helped the puppy not be awake at unreasonable hours? He still had to use the bathroom at 4am but otherwise was quiet until 7am when my alarm went off)

I'm sorry, Fred. Good luck with the port.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Imagine being a Neolithic Brit, and traveling hundreds of kilometers over many days to be at Stonehenge on the Solstice, only for it to be cloudy like that. That must have sucked.

I don't know, I traveled I don't even know how many miles to get to the Faroe Islands for a solar eclipse and it was cloudy and rainy and you mostly couldn't see anything and it was still magical. I bet neolithic solstices were, too.
Although they wouldn't have had hot chocolate. But they wouldn't have known it existed to miss it.
