    Since the solstice is at 6:32 a.m. NST (2:02 a.m. PST) Dec. 21,
    tonight (Sunday night) is the longest night, at least in North
    America.

    "Long night
    So this is what it all comes to
    Long night
    This is what we all go through
    Long night
    Another friend is gone
    Long night

    Death is a mighty uniter
    The defeat that comes to every fighter
    Live on! The dawn will be brighter
    Live on! Live on! Live on!

    Long night
    Let me be with you
    Long night
    I feel you need it too
    Long night
    Rollin' in each other's arms
    Long night
    Keep each other safe from harm

    Love is a mighty uniter
    The night can only make it tighter
    Love on! The dawn will be brighter
    Love on! Love on! Love on!

    Long night
    So this is what it all comes to
    Long night
    This is what we all go through
    Long night
    Another friend is gone
    Long night
    Leaving' us to carry on

    Death is a mighty uniter
    The defeat that comes to every fighter.
    Live on! The dawn will be brighter
    Live on! Live on! Live on!
    Live on! Live on! Live on!
    Live on! Live on! Live on!
    Long night"

    Blessed Yule! I lit all my special candles, including a big red one
    that I made in a Black Velvet whiskey tube and have had since
    probably 1987 and a "Ship of Fools" one I made and have had
    since April 1995 (with regular mast replacements), earlier tonight.

    But it was cloudy here on the Avalon this evening so I didn’t see
    the closest conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn.
