Why Europe Rocks: Reason #8

Curse the Darkness!!!

disclaimer...this actually has nothing to do with Europe and everything to do with latitude...and I realize we have it way better than, say, Estonia and Latvia, but you know...

At 4:15pm yesterday I was walking to the grocery store, and I thought, "Huh, do I take the shortcut behind the gardens or go the long way by the road?" Why this dillema? you may ask. Because it's pitch stinking dark already at 4:15, and I never take the garden shortcut by myself at night. But guess what, it's not night, it's the afternoon.

Arrggghhh!

...railing against brief hours of light...
