Happy Winter Solstice!
 
According to Slate, the Solstice occurred at 5:12 this morning,  Central 
Time.  
 
Thank that 23.5 degree axial tilt of our Earth, relative to the plane of  
its orbit, for the seasons. And thank science for giving us this  
information; would that our knowledge of science be no longer used for  destruction of 
Nature and of ourselves.
 
Tom
