whew...kinda hard to focus now.
the sun supposedly stands still at noon time for several days around solstice time. after minor experimentation i've concluded these events cannot be witnessed with the naked eye...you'll need a pyramid, stone circle, mound or some other ancient technology. sure would like to know exactly which days and exact time these events occur each year.

LOL...someone called me at work to tell me about this. I was like, my lunch is over, and I gotta get back to work. I think I pulled a 10 hour day that day. Wasn't that Monday?

Well, anyway, four tens this week, to make the 40 hours, plus we still get paid for the holiday, even though it falls on a day when we wouldn't be working anyhow. They're giving us Christmas Eve off instead (because we'd get OFF Christmas Day? I don't know, no big deal to me, I'd work it anyway if given the chance).

DH and DD do that every week, then usually go in on Sundays for double overtime.

Curious where you found this out. I can't see anything wrong with studying the worlds around us, after all it is God's creation. (Not to enter into a debate or anything but it's just what I believe.)
