Here in Boise we’re at the far west end of the Mountain time zone, and we just had our earliest sunset of the year: 5:07 PM. Our latest sunrise won’t be until sometime in January, around 8:20 AM.

Did you know that parts of Oregon and Florida are only one hour apart?

Self-awareness is not a Democrat trait.

Nasty, vicious, vile smears and slurs are ok. But pointing out the truth about a crook is dangerous.

I learn something new every day, while forgetting two old things. 🙁

I have been watching the reports on the big Storm coming to the US, well already in CA and Nev. The temps for here in CO were to be below zero later this week but now have be moved to Wed of next week. Pretty soon they will show up in June. Climate Change or the Weather? Only the Shadow knows.

63 days until pitchers and catchers report – in case you were wondering.

}}} The official sunset here in western WA today is 4:20 but on cloudy gloomy days like today it feels more like 3:30.

I tell myself this is the price we pay for daylight until almost 10:00 PM in the summer but it’s hard when it’s pitch black at 4:30.

Yeah, it’s funny — I’ve always lived in FL, which has far more moderate variance — We’re talking 13-v-11 h days vs nights summer or winter. I remember when I was 12, visiting Chicago for a month, and noting that it was getting dark at 4:30 in the afternoon. Being, even then, a science geek, I understood it, but it was interesting.

Then last year, in the summer, I had some contract work that had me in northern Illinois, and recall not only the sun setting at an unusually (to me) hour, but also when I had a couple early flights back, noting as I drove to the airport, that the sun was starting to lighten the horizon @ 3:30am, and the sun was coming up a bit after 4am. And this was DST, to boot… 😛

I was also in lower NY earlier this year in Feb, so, similar thing but the other way around. It’s very strange how much difference ca. 900 mi of latitude makes.

“Pitchers and catchers report” was truly the first day of spring, never mind how cold it was at the time.

Same was true for kids growing up in Pennsylvania.

“We ran the voter registration rolls against church addresses in a dozen states and found thousands of people registered at a church in which it was clear there was no place to sleep.

The leftist objective is not to build an army of homeless and get them into civics; it is rather to create an inventory of identities who never vote.”

Why do Republicans resist doing the work required to give us honest elections? We need to make election integrity the most important issue in every primary. Because all other issues depend on it.

Neo:

Cool, I didn’t know that. Learn something new every day!

For Chicagoland kids like me who grew up in the 50s, “pitchers and catchers report” was truly the first day of spring, never mind how cold it was at the time.
