They could take a lesson from the beer business. I used to fill vending machines in two brewery's. Both had a beer room for the employees. They could drink all they could hold and still do the job.

It is the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, where it is the shortest day of the year.

In the Southern Hemisphere, it is the summer solstice and the longest day of the year.

December Solstice in Alicante, Spain was on
Tuesday, 22 December 2015, 05:49 CET (Change city)

December Solstice in Universal Coordinated Time was on
Tuesday, 22 December 2015, 04:49 UTC

The Sun's Position
The Sun is directly overhead of the Tropic of Capricorn in the Southern Hemisphere during the December Solstice.

10 Facts on the December Solstice
The December Solstice occurs when the Sun reaches its most southerly declination of -23.5 degrees. In other words, when the North Pole is tilted furthest – 23.5 degrees – away from the Sun.

Midnight Sun or Polar Night
Being the longest day of the year, also means that people in the areas south of the Antarctic Circle towards the South Pole will see the Midnight Sun, i.e. have 24 hours of daylight, during this time of the year.

Sunrise & Sunrise Worldwide

For people in the Northern Hemisphere, the December solstice marks the exact opposite, the day of the year with fewest hours of daylight. North of the Arctic Circle towards the North Pole there is no direct sunlight at all during this time of the year.

Solstices in Culture
The December solstice has played an important role in cultures worldwide from ancient times until our day. Even Christmas celebrations are closely linked to the observance of the December solstice.

There are also customs linked to the June solstice along with traditions linked to the Spring (vernal) equniox and the Fall (autumnal) equinox.

I walked out of both places sideways a few times. The old timers with hollow legs always got a kick out of getting visitors and vendors snockered.
Then the Bars. OMG, when they would see my truck pull up they would have me set up before I hit the door. 7-8 am.no matter.
They shmoozed me for the strips of coupons from the cartons of cigarettes and I had and gave out stacks of them. I probably dumped more booze out than Elliot Ness.

yup, congress didn't give the DEA funds to hassle medical marijuana this time around. The tide is rising, a tsunami of public opinion is washing away a lifetime of lies. Feels good

really like this...and here is another view, the bill passed was put forth buy a California republican and passed a republican controlled house (if I read correctly)....north Carolina recently passed med. legalization for a charlottes web type strain and north Carolina is completely republican controlled..so it appears that the republicans are cool with this now too, democrats and republicans now agree at least on something. good medicine for all!!!
 
Merry solstice green tribe! Anyone ever fall pray to "impulse seed buying"?. Well. I have. When I'm researching strains, I'm looking for large plants with an open growth habit, the fastest growing and maturing, big yield and kickass, fungus and mold resistant. So, preparing for last season's grow I bought Auto Marry Jane from Ministry of Cannabis. She didn't fit any of my well though out criteria. Why did I buy her? Her portrait?, naw, I love all bud porn. Described as a indica dom hybrid, with no lineage. I think I liked the no hype minimal description. Right up to seeding I was questioning myself, planted anyway. She was smaller than the rest, 30" tall, yielded 1.2 oz.(about an oz less than the average for last season). She grew as compact bush with lots of leaves, juicy dense buds all covered with leaves. At the end found a small spot of bud rot, got her harvested and inspected real quick. All through the grow she was the most aromatic of the girls, very strong ripe melon from the beginning of flower. Took longer to cure, to lose harshness, but ended up a nice fruity taste with an enjoyable relaxing high, not as strong as the other girls. Won't grow her again, too small and prone to rot. Why did I do it?

In our bleak mid winter (WTF), sorry mild spell. It's time to go and put more light and heat into my tent!

Happy Winter Solstice to all.

I have attended the Summer Solstice at Stonehenge. I was smack in the middle and saw the sun rise above, and "sit on" the outer stone. It was magical. Something I will never forget and cherish to my grave. But that was back in the day when you could have free access on solstice days.
That Bit*h Thatcher put a stop to that. Although I hear things are a bit more relaxed these days.

eP.
