I came home last night at 8 pm and it was dark. Like, headlights-on dark. Then I got up this morning at 6 am and it was dark. Like, turn-on-a-light-when-you-get-downstairs dark.
Apparently today sunrise is at 6:12 AM, while sunset is at 7:04 PM – so the day is still 12h 51m long.
But I guess I always notice the change more over a holiday weekend, on Friday the sunrise was at 6:07 AM and sunset at 7:13 PM – a full fifteen minutes more of day! We’re losing almost 3 minutes a day here, people.
Welcome autumn …
