It's today!
Happy Solstice!
This year's winter Solstice is brought to you by the Claude Bourbonnais Winter Car Control driving school, which will introduce you to ice rally driving on a frozen lake in Quebec. Not too far from here, actually. Hmm...

Apparently this was from last year, but I did not see it, although I thought it was cool:
I find it curious that today is the first day of winter, yet the warmest day we have had in a month.
Weird how days get longer and colder. Huh. |

The radio played a song about highway travel over the holidays, I missed the title and artist. There were verses about truckers and military and the police at accidents.
But the last line was "there's nothing as dangerous as Texans on ice."

In actual celestial news: I saw the rings of Saturn for the first time recently... through a cheap crappy telescope. I wasn't expecting that.
