Sunsets
Under good conditions a 4:12pm sunset would not be too dark, but lately its been cloudy and dark even before the sun sets. The moon is of course non-existent. Luckily, over years of running in the dark I have accumulated lots of reflective running gear and a decent running head lamp. The depressing part though doesn't get better as the days wear on - that's what the treadmill is for, to cheer me up on those really dreary days. Yes, that's right, I said the treadmill cheers me up.

Whoa...it never occured to me that in other places of the country (and world) the sun doesn't set at the same time (of day) that it does here. Yikes. Just when I start to feel sorry for myself...I'll have to remember that it's worse somewhere else! There has to be somewhere worse than Seattle too...right? :)

Dude. I don't know if I could handle that. Then again, I lived in California's Central Valley for years where we'd go for weeks without seeing the sun for the fog. I'm pretty sure the fog is worse.
