The REAL reason for the season.
Happy Winter Solstice 2022.

It's the dilemma of the analemma.

And once again, life will replenish on the earth. It's my favorite time of the season.

It's something we can all count on.....as opposed to god or "his" church.

And as the old joke goes, worshipping the sun may seem pointless, but at least it’s real.

Worshipping is pointless.

People love to do it though. Celebrities, sports figures, popular politicians, brands, movements ect...

I find people who point their finger at one group laughing at their dumb worship are actually doing the same thing but what they worship is different.

I beg your pardon. As has been pointed out here innumerable times, God is the Laws of Nature™.

I regularly bow down before the law of gravity. It keeps air on planet earth, so I can breathe. It keeps my bones and muscles from wasting away. It keeps cereal in my bowl.

If I disobey the law of gravity, it knocks me to the floor.

How can that not be God?

congratulations ~


to all athiest exmos ~


celebrating another round ~


of they uncreated sun ~


whirling around ~



in they uncreated universe ~

No god needed.

Never forget: the original reason for marking the solstices was to know when to plant your rutabagas.

...worst day in the year to golf...

On the plus side, with wind chills in the -30 range, you can clean up after your dog with a five iron. Except those deprived souls in coastal California, of course.

A five iron would be perfect: plenty of time to hide before the neighbor down the street hears his window break.

If you were a really good golfer, it wouldn't matter if it was the shortest day of the year.

18 Hole in one's doesn't take that long.

It takes longer if you keep wandering off with your five iron. . .

Today's high temperature in North Disneyland will be 74°.

It's practically a schvitz'er!!!

70 F (21 c) is when Seattle ppl take their jackets, sweaters & coats OFF, California's put them ON...

just sayin'

Happy Kwanzaa to All from me & from the PNW

Happy Solstice! I can almost hear the Holly King and Oak King duel, the pool noodles* clashing over the seasons!

*One tradition some neo-pagans and Wiccans have is to act out the Holly King (representing winter and shorter days) abdicate the throne to the Oak King (representing summer and longer days). I knew a Wiccan group who used to have the Holly King and Oak King duel with foam pool noodles instead of swords.

Hey, I liked it!

Was going to get up very early and drive over to Stonehenge but the early morning weather in Wiltshire looks grey and rubbish, so I think I will stay in bed with coffee and dogs, and channel my inner Jethro Tull. Ring Solstice Bells!!
