LOWEST OF THE LOW
Today is the winter solstice.
At 11:12 UTC.
Right now it is 9:48 PM UTC so, well, is the 11:12 PM or a 24hour time?
There is a complicator this year because people picked up on the end of the Mayan calendar on this same date.
Solstice/Mayans. Voila!
In any case the world doesn't seem to be ending in a lake of fire. If anything, we are colder than average.
I normally don't pay attention to any of this but even the sophisticates who know the Mayan thing is just a crock of shit are into it and joking about it.
"See? It didn't happen--ha ha ha".
But maybe it is happening in another time warp and we are just not seeing it.
I like the Stonehenge simplicity.
The sun hits the slot and we are at the lowest of the low. The darkest day. From here on it will be brighter and the days longer.
This happened this morning.
