Mmario, will you grant that day and dark are not evenly divided right now? We're getting a little more than 6 hours of daylight currently- and much of that isn't full daylight. But you're right- we get it all back next summer.

Today, for the first time in the couple of weeks since I'm back in town a bitter wind is blowing. It's right off the icefields and not tempered at all by the snow on the ground. Not a good day to go wandering.

Joe O, in mid-November I drove through the Sacramento Valley and the Siskiyous from and to the Oregon Willamette Valley. Had several hours of fog in the Sacramento area but otherwise we had wonderful driving conditions- dry freeway, open expansive hills, bright colors in the mountains. Gorgeous. And I fell in love all over again with Dunsmuir. Someday I must go spend some time there...
