Enlightening

Daylights are starting to lengthen, and we can start seeing that happening shortly into January. Annual transitions into longer-lasting natural light excite the outdoorsy types and those who feed large animals routinely.

Each winter, I re-experience the discomfort of having to navigate among large animals in darkness while depending on an often inadequate, uncomfortable headlamp.

I say, “Come on, longer daylights!”

Would it be correct to refer to today as this year’s pluperfect shortest day?

Dear Friends: I must be at work early and fiddle later for an answer. Diana
