SOLSTICE

I am always late with the winter solstice.

This year, I will be a day ahead. I want to be ready for it.

It will be December 22 (barely) at 0:22 AM UTC

I don't know how that translates to PST.

I might be up when it happens.

I know that I will not be at Stonehenge or any other of the henges that were set up to mark the date.

The big thing for me is that this is the darkest it will be for the morning bike ride.

We are right on the cusp.

I left at 6:10 AM this morning and did not have to use my headlight once.

When I leave at 6:05, I need it some.

We do not have any city lights and I do not want to hit a skunk or something.

I turn it on at odd situations when I want to be seen but that is different.

I always have the tail-light. You can see it for a half a mile.
