>Yesterday was one of those days when it was sunny (not so warm though) and you looked at the sky and thought, hey that sun is really up higher in the sky! I think the sun’s angle must have crossed some critical level that my body notices. So I looked it up (see below), solar noon is at 35.9 degrees. On Dec 21 it was at 23.9, so not sure if 35.9 degrees means anything, but i will take it. And in case you are wondering, we are now gaining close to 3 minutes a day, and we are almost at a solid 11 hours of daytime here!
