Sir, Frappelone's A-shard wearing garden stores brings you garage logic podcast number 523 December 21st 2020.

The day of the Christmas star. 56 degrees was the high on this day and that was in 1877 and it was 24 below in 1916.

Now now from the air's office above the boat house on the east shore of Spoon Link.

It's garage logic with rookie on production Chris Reaver's director of social media John Hyde in the newsroom and occasionally Kenny from the Krabby Coffee Shop.

Here is your flashlight king fireworks commissioner and keeper of common sense your mayor Joe Sushire.

Our friend Kelsey has relatives work in the circus. Oh, they're married and they but they desperately want a child and they went to an adoption agency and the social workers raised doubts about their suitability.

The couple then produced photos of their 50 foot motorhome which was clean and well maintained and equipped with a beautiful nursery.

The social workers then raised concerns about the education of a child and how he would receive that education while in the couple's care.

Well, we've arranged for you know Kelsey told me they said we arrange for a full time tutor who will teach the child all the usual subjects along with French, Mandarin and computer skills.

It must be very successful circus before all. Yeah, then the social workers express concern about a child being raised in a circus environment.

Our nanny will be a certified expert in pediatric care welfare and diet. The social workers were finally satisfied and they asked well what age child are you hoping to adopt.

Well, it doesn't really matter just so long as the kid fits in the cannon.

Oh.

Yeah. Wow. Hey now. Is that a true story? Yeah, that's true. Their neighbors are yeah, they're in a circus. That's true. Now tonight you know what that line can't be just reminded me of we watched Christmas made Casey the other day and cousin Eddie goes you serious Clark?

He's talking about Santa to the kids. I saw carolers yesterday. When's the last time you've seen carolers? Come on. Where? Yeah, it was about three o'clock in the afternoon.

They were masked and distanced and they were serenading a elderly couple who had come out under their stoop and they saying jingle bells and I I gave them the applause through the mittens on my walk and kept going. I thought it was wonderful. Why don't you join in?

I don't know. It's not. You're my they keep in the mic. It wasn't my deal. Before I get to heavy stuff. Can we just really realize the extraordinary celestial event we have tonight.

Bert writes, hail the grand Puba of the royal order of the 21st years. It's 6 o' 2 a.m. We have entered what I as a 21st year called delusional spring works for me though. Mary New Year and happy Christmas bird. It's it's the shortest day of the year.

But incrementally things begin to lighten up starting tomorrow. Although Santa bell Jim takes issue with that winner. He caught he linked me to a piece from the Duluth News Tribune.

Winner's Solstice for 2020 is today December 21st. It occurred at 402 a.m. This is the shortest day of the year. However, it is neither the latest sunrise nor the earliest sunset. The earliest sunsets happened about a week before the solstice. See we're over them.

And the latest sun rises the shortest mornings happen about a week after the differences are minuscule but measurable as well as explainable. Our clocks show a day to be 24 hours, but the sun in the sky is not so steady. The solar day, which is the time from one day to the next between the sun's peak in the sky, varies very slightly at different times of the year due to the elliptical shape of the earth's orbit around the sun. This creates very small irregularities that are displayed in the slight vagaries in sunrise and sunset.

It doesn't scare me. We're getting better here. Tonight, this is from Tim. Tonight Jupiter and Saturn will meet in a great conjunction. The closest they can be seen in the sky together for nearly 800 years. If you have a telescope, I do, but I'm struggling to make it work. If you have a telescope, you'll be able to see both the rings of Saturn and the Galilean Galilean moons of Jupiter close together at the same moment.
