B.C. by Mastroianni and Hart for December 18, 2022

Only for a few more days

Only in the northern hemisphere.

I feel ya, big guy.

winter does not start until dec 21, that’s when the days start getting longer. but sure does’nt feel like it

Only for one more week until Winter Solstice. Then daylight starts getting longer..

Shorter, longer, either way I’m getting older so time is passing faster. ;-).

Life is weird.

I prefer it that way.

Must be near the pole.

And just as one begins to get used to DST, winter hours arrive to keep one unsettled. When that settles out, daylight becomes longer and throws us off again. Fortunately, one’s tummy keeps track of meal times and that works for me.

Anybody out there from Alaska or Nunavut care to comment?

Will there be a similar type of cartoon during the summer when the day never seems to end?

Spent 10 years in and out of the high Canadian Arctic, this time of year daylight is a dull glow on the horizon

They do indeed, and that stupid “Daylight Savings Time” crap doesn’t help. I’ll be sooooo glad when it’s gone.

I say Daylight saving Time has passed it usefulness. Let’s stay on standard time forever. Yip yip yip yip yip

got up at the crack of dawn… had lunch… and the sun went down

The days might start getting longer but it will still be cold as heck

I agree! It starts getting dark @ 4:30.

I feel like a mushroom in a dark dank basement!

B. C. is Diogenes’ assistant, looking for an honest clam.

The shortest day of the year is my daughter’s birthday. December 21st. =p

Well, first of all, it’s still autumn. Daylight has been shrinking for us in the north since June. I actually look forward for winter to begin and seeing more “daytime”.

Doesn’t anyone ever write from the Southern Hemisphere?

Could be worse, check out where these crazy people live, nearly at the top of the world—-www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eDUaIlhDHI

He must live in Fairbanks.

Just three more days and they start getting longer again.

Colder, too.

During the winter months, while working twelve hour shifts in the Navy, I would go to work before the Sunrise and would get off after Sundown in a building with no windows.
