Well it’s that time of year when the world gathers ’round to see if a little unknown (yet infamous) critter is going to cast a shadow declaring if the wintery weather will continue or not.

No possibility of even locating any glimmer of a shadow under those conditions. So to start the day off right, here’s a closer view of the brilliant island sun we had yesterday morning.
