in keeping with the neighbours

A composite yuletide carol visited Carol. Carol received the composite yuletide carol with equanimity; she's received all manner of types of variations of carols. This includes carols concerning the left front armpit of a barn dog named 'Barry'.

That we are ever so gradually approaching the day that has the fewest number of daylight nano-seconds comes as no surprise to the author of this post. It would appear for at least half the year we are approaching just such a day.

In just a few short days we will begin the ever so gradual ascent to the day the the highest number of daylight nano-seconds.

Out of curiosity (thanks to Carol and her carols) I investigated the number of nanoseconds in the shortest day this year. There are 31,334,000,000,000 nanoseconds of daylight.
