That's me by the snowman I made the last day of 2004. I know it's in night vision, I can't get the flash to work on the stinking camera.
Anyway, since about November it's super dark outside by 5 o'clock, 5:30ish. It's really weird, especially when compared to the RGV. I suppose the surrounding mountains (because I now live in an actual valley) might have a great deal to do with that, and the fact that I now live further north... I'm not sure of what I'm getting at.
I, too, love The Cheat, Gilbert.
