For a l l you d ie-ha rd Chicagola nd w inter sur v ivors, I have some go o d ne w s. T he d ay s are getting longer! OK, not by much, but what w it h t he d isma l Bea rs season, we have to get our jollies where we can. Let’s a ll celebrate t hat the shortest day of the year in Chicagoland was way back on December 21. December 21 is the day has been celebrated by people a l l over t he Nor t her n Hem i sphere t h roug hout h istor y a s W i nter Solst ice. T he earth is now tilting back towards the source of all light, heat and sun tans. Since the days are getting longer a nd t he n ig ht s shorter, this day marks the victory of Sun over the darkness. I’m sure one of our talented pastors could even expound on that in a sermon!

For those of you who a re like me, a nd enjoy watching the days getting longer - I’ve found a good sunset website - http:// www.sunrisesunset.com. It helps make winter more tolerable. You can check out that sunset on January 1st was 4:30 pm. Any now get ready for some big fun – the sun will set on January 28 at 5:00! That is a whole 30 m i nutes of ex t ra sunshine ! But wait it gets better – On February 21, the sun will set at 5:30 – a gift of a whole extra hour of light. Of course, most of us will use it to commute home after work, but at least we will be able to enjoy the scenery. Enjoy the extra sunshine – compliments of our blue planet doing the tilt. Arlo Kallemeyn Shopper Publisher and big fan of our amazing planet.
