Happy Solstice
At 11:11 AM CST the winter solstice occurs marking the longest night of the year. If everyone has been good, the days start getting longer tomorrow. Locally, the sun will rise at 6:38AM and set at 4:49PM for a total of 10 hours and 10 minutes of daylight, but tomorrow will be a whole 2 seconds longer.
This also marks HogsWatch, so don’t forget to put out the turnips.

Courting
A couple of courts have been busy on the love and marriage front.
First, up in Canada Supreme Court strikes down Canada’s prostitution laws. It was a unanimous decision by the court that gives the government a year to come up with something that is not so close to the laws of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, or just forget the whole thing.
Meanwhile a US Federal judge has given florists and wedding planners a holiday present by declaring the state ban on same-sex marriage unConstitutional. The state said it would appeal, but it didn’t ask for a stay, so same-sex couples are getting married. ‘Traditional marriage’ has a somewhat different meaning in Utah, so things get a bit confused.
