A New Year, A New City
So, with the global pandemic, I cheated a bit on this. When I try to visit a new city on new years I do try for it to be new. Well, back in New Years 2009 – 2010 I actually was in Middletown, RI to visit a friend who moved there. My boyfriend of the…

On Tuesday when I arrived sunrise was at 10:24 and sunset at 16:04. On Wednesday it was 10:27 and 16:01, already 6 minutes less…
