Good Night and Good Luck

The gray fall skies are making me a little sad, but I'm looking foward to some fresh snow to liven things up. Those poor bastards in Barrow, Alaska, should get out the Pabst, the Paxil, and the pistols, though, because it's going to be a long time till sunup: the sun set in Barrow on Friday, November 18, at 1:40 p.m. and won't rise again until January 23 at 1:01 p.m. That's next year, if you're keeping score at home.
