Have you noticed our sun rising earlier in the morning? March 20 marks the first day of spring. On this day our sun will follow the celestial equinox. According to astronomer Jack Horkheimer, “If you go to work/school around sunrise on a due east/west highway notice just how close the Sun rises to the center of the road each day and then as it gets closer to March 20th watch it rise even closer to the yellow line until on Saturday the 20th it will rise directly over the yellow line.” Go ahead and try it yourself and have a happy spring.

Cool!
Love this weather!
Ehren: Never thought of this, but it makes perfect sense-- I need to try it now, but you've got to get up pretty early... Thanks.
