Yes, but it sure doesn't feel like it in the morning. If I'm not
mistaken, dawn will be getting later for another ten days or so before
we turn the corner.

I sooo don't care about that. When I got out of the Army, I swore that
I'd never see the sun come up again. I don't have a perfect record but I
do try. :-)


Evenings have already been getting distinctly
brighter, though.

Yup, On the earliest sunset of the year in the Boston MA USA area, the
sun set at 4:11 (09 Dec). It now sets at 4:16.

Many people are surprised to learn that the earliest sunset of the year
and the shortest day of the don't coincide.
