\"Shrinking<\/a>The September equinox<\/a> left the building two days ago. That means shrinking daylight hours and increasing hours of darkness for the next several months.

10.\u00a0 Unemployment will go down as work hours expand for burglars and peeping toms.<\/p>\n

9.\u00a0\u00a0 It gets dark soon enough to take kids outside to play with sparklers before bedtime. Yes, toes and fingers and bums will freeze. But we are thinking positive, remember?<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0 Burned out lightbulbs are more obvious and therefore are replaced sooner.<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0 Sunscreen bills go way, way down. No need to mention that heat and lighting bills go up because that wouldn’t be positive. At. All.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0 Less daylight means people won’t notice dirt in the corners of my car\/bathroom\/kitchen\/closets. You get the idea.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 Those who wait to binge watch TV series on DVDs and Netflix don’t have to wait so long.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 Putting on jammies right after supper is perfectly acceptable when it’s dark outside.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Long, cozy, dark nights + reading lamp = more hours to read!<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Long, dark nights + cold + nasty weather = a perfect reason to stay home and write.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Once each day’s minutes of darkness overtake the minutes of daylight, only three months remain until the December solstice<\/a> when daylight hours start increasing again!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
