When I was young I was afraid of the dark and everything that went with it, imagined, real or suggested.  So fearful that I had extreme trouble falling asleep.

Yesterday was the winter solstice, the shortest (day light) day of the year.  One could call it Heart of Darkness Day and say it is the worst or best day of year, as darkness bottoms and starts to bounce back to light.

Day Light Savings Time only confuses things (circadian rhythm) and in my opinion should be banished.

Some northern places are almost always dark.  It's just down right depressing.

Please see the above picture. I'll take dawn over dusk every time.

Can you see the Light?
