Tomorrow Is The First Day Of Winter

Boy, with some of the temperatures we've been experiencing around here lately, you sure could have fooled me!!!

 

But as Chuck Buell joins many of us in "Welcoming" Winter tomorrow, he points out that ...

 

Our Forgotten Hits Friends and Relatives in Fairbanks, Alaska, will see only 3 Hours and 45 Minutes of Daylight tomorrow during the Shortest Day of the Year and tomorrow night the Longest Night of the Year for all of us in the Northern Hemisphere. 


Meanwhile, those who live Utqiaġvik, the northernmost town in Alaska ( Sidebar: I didn't know Barrow, Alaska was renamed in 2016 to this easier to pronounce and spell name of "Utqiaġvik!" ) watched the sun go down toward the end of last month and are in the middle of over 60 "Days" of Darkness until January 23rd!

    

Utqiaġvik, Alaska City Motto: "Hello, Darkness my Old Friend!"


( OK, I might have made up that line about their city's "City Motto!" )


But even with that, especially for the residents of Utqiaġvik, here is my "Darkness Chuck Buell Minute Medley!"

 


CB ( which stands for Darkly Disturbed "Clandestine Boy!" )
