Yesterday I Noticed Something That Made Me Happy...
The days are getting noticibly LONGER. Even if it's only slightly longer, I can tell a difference when it's no longer DARK at 4:45 in the afternoon.

Have you noticed it too?

1. oh YEAH. The car cover is coming OFF the miata this weekend. She's
getting cleaned and polished and road ready!

My rule is that I don't drive it unless I can leave the top down.... as a matter of principal.

So now that it's lighter later, I can drive it when I p/u the kid from late days at school.

Principals.

2. I've noticed it, also.
It's a sign that spring is on its way.

And just in time. This time of year isn't good for me.

3. I've found it's
best to start looking on the brighter side as soon as winter solstice is over. After the longest dark is over, longer days of light are ahead.
