Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs Calloway May you have many more and they all be happy ones. Rye, you are mistaken. The day is still the same length, only the hours of daylight and night change. Today is the shortest time of daylight and the most time of darkness. It only gets better from here until we reach June 21, 2017. But I guess you knew that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) No, it's the shortest day because the hours, minutes, seconds are shorter and the earth is flat. That's why it's colder also. Edited December 21, 2016 by Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warden Callaway Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Thanks, I don't mean to hijack this topic. Well, if we make it another 47 years I may get a straight answer from her. Just as an example, we'll come to an intersection and I'll ask, "Anything comin'?". She'll replay, "I don't see anything.". Now, is there something coming or not? She only said she didn't see anything. Now I have to look around her head to make sure there is nothing coming. Other times she'll make a reply with some comment that seems total unrelated. Then there has to be a discussion that starts with the comment and ends with she doesn't know or can't decide. She does put up with a lot. Our livig/dining room outer walls are picketed with shotguns in some state of disrepair. The coffee table is covered with boxes of screws and other small parts. The bench (seat) in front of the stove is my workbench. I'm using part of the dining room tabe to lay out a shotgun buttstock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warden Callaway Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Corn Gratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Calloway, and thank you for setting a fine example! Well done, the both of you! I took some old advice for a long marriage that served me well. "One one person can be mad at a time.". I figure after 50 years I may be my turn.

Dr. O. R. Vet Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Happy 47th Anniversary to Warden and Sawmill Mary. Takes a little effort on both your parts to make a marriage work. Seen you two in action-both of you do a good job of it! May you have many more. BTW, 1st wife and I got married on June 6th-D Day! That's another way to remember your anniversary. Dr. O. R.
