Brings to mind the day I came to work on a cold January day
in Maryland, USA. A co-worker remarked in a tone of amazement 
"here it is the middle of winter and the days are already 
getting longer." My mind blanked out on exactly what he could 
have meant so I mumbled, "Well yes, after December 21 the days
always get longer." This conversation took place at a NASA site
where I was employed at the time.
