Pontiac Winter Solstice pic for 2010...



Another lap around the sun!

It's that time again - solstice celebration for those whose biochemistry seems to include some amount of photosynthesis.

I'm not the only Northerner happy to know the sun will be a bit stronger tomorrow than it was yesterday: the photovoltaic battery bank in my shack has been slowly draining over the past couple weeks. The weak sun (and unusually overcast skies since the 3rd week of Nov.) can't even quite keep up with a few hours of laptop usage and minimal lighting (1 or 2 13 watt CFL's!) each day.
