This week has been very refreshing.

We've been gaining two minutes of daylight every day and it has finally gotten to the point where I see slight amounts of daylight during my commute. In the morning it only ends up amounting to a little bit of light in the east as I get off of the bus. But in the evening almost my whole walk to the bus is in actual light. Sure the whole ride is still in the dark, but still - I see some actual light. Every single day! It's very exciting!

It also means as I cross the skyway between the downtown commons and Block E, I can actually see out the windows. As in this example, I can actually see the Grain Belt Beer sign that's by the Hennepin Ave. bridge.

Ah daylight. Very encouraging.
