Almanac

For the past 20 years, I have worked mostly a 'second shift' job...enjoying my mornings and early afternoons at home. Since September, however, I have been working mostly 9-5. Most people say, "Ah, I bet that is nice." Nice maybe, but I miss the sunlight hours...especially this time of year...it's just getting light when I get up and it's dark when I get home. Can't quite figure out WHY people work during the day...seems kind of backwards to me. As soon as possible, I will go back to working evenings but until that time, I have added my Sun Shine calculator to the top of this site just so I know that tomorrow the sun will shine longer than today and that the risk that I become a raving maniac is diminishing. As a matter of fact, when I searched "lack of sunlight", this is the image that was produced: Looks strikingly similar, however, to the 'salt sucking' alien from a 60s Star Trek episode...
