Hey, Steve, Hoodat, or anybody else who might know--Why is it that the days don't lengthen the same in the morning as they do in the evening? You would think if the day is two minutes longer than the day before, there would be a minute in the morning and a minute in the evening. But it doesn't seem to work that way. For December, the difference in sunrise from the 1st to the 31st is 20 minutes. The difference for sunset in the same month is 9 minutes, with the sunset getting later for most of the month, rather than just from the 21st. Is the sun just reluctant to get up in the morning, like me?
And I just noticed on my calender that the sunrise continues to be later all December. I thought they were supposed to start getting earlier after the 21st! Is there some simple answer to this that I am missing? And should I even waste my time worrying about things like this, when I have dirty dishes in the sink?
