Happy Winter Solstice, Y'all!!

The reason for the season!

Today the son sun quits dying, lays low for three days, and then resurrects starts ascending again ensuring Life for the crops in the coming Easter Spring. About 6pm Eastern IIRC.

Proving once again that I may be average, but I'm not stupid. ​

It was 31 this morning when I went swimming. Pool was 70 and everything was just peachy for the winter solstice. Pity that they pool will be closed for Christmas but I don't begrudge them the day off.

Happy holidays to all!
