    Can anybody help me remove the author’s tongue from his cheek? Everybody knows that all days are 24 hours long all year, except in leap year.

    That’s why I can come in late for work to make up for leaving early the day before.

    Time is an illusion, based on ‘human’ constraints,qualia (representations).

    The only ones authorized to save daylight are the agents of the United States Daylight Depository, which operate a series of vaults outside Hawthorne, Nevada to store the saved daylight.

    But like most government agencies, they don’t recirculate the stored daylight in the winter months when they could do us some good.

    Join me in calling on Congress to release daylight from the Strategic Daylight Reserve in these dark times.

    This reminds me of my 5th grade teacher who told us that December 21 was the shortest day of the year but didn’t explain what she meant. I was seriously confused because she had already taught us that every day had 24 hours. She didn’t bother explaining. But that teacher made a lot of other mistakes, too.

    I happen to think standard time is a waste of time. I’m for having some extra daylight to work with when I get home. It’s always dark when I go into work, whether DST or standard time, so save me that extra daylight for when I get home.

    I like it. The Strategic Daylight Reserve…that’s where it was supposed to come from the end of the tunnel, right?

    Dec. 21 has the fewest daylight hours – in the western hemisphere – and June 21, has the most. Thus, today is the shortest “day” and longest “night”..HOWEVER … in Australia – Perth for example – today, they will have nearly 12 full hours of sun (like we did on June 21, in Toronto, Canada.)

    He might be speaking of sidereal time, which is approx. 23 hours, 56 min, and 4.1 seconds.

    Lets be as BC should be and beat back the night! Everyone! Go Now! Outside! Burn your Fall leaves. Their sacrifice will beg the Sun to return. :)

    I love the Winter Solstice! It’s my New Years , the days will begin to get longer. With in a few weeks I will see buds swell just a tiny bit on some of the hardier plants. It will still get colder but there is the promise of light and rebirth. Light a candle and sip a good dark ale. This year, Dec. 21st 2011 9:32 PST.
