and so, dear Cisco and GG, here comes the longest darkest night of the year, Saturday, winter equinox. I wish you were here, Cisco. I will get up and see if the rising sun is coming in my bedroom window as I designed the house just so. Luckily this year we have an almost coinciding FULL moon with the long night, but it's no accident that many cultures in our hemisphere have lighting of candles, trees, and whatever burns tradition to brighten the longest, darkest nights.
So I am going Saturday night to view TV's light displays...in a golf cart, aka horseless sleigh... It is a good life.
