Here Comes The Sun
Michael,
It took awhile, but we finally got the electrons to come down to our garage roof and live with us. The Project Manager (“Joe”) should never see this html opus, or he would be mightily embarassed. The Xcel technician who slacked off on the job should be embarrassed, too, for delaying our electrons an unnecessary day.
You may be surprised to see that shot of sun-obscuring clouds in our sky. So am I. With 385 days (or so) of sun per year, it’s pretty unusual, but it does happen. Snow is predicted again for tomorrow, so the kilowatts may be few and far between for a while, and I might not get that long-awaited movie of the backwards-running meter until our March lion finishes toying with the lamb.

Wait a sec … surely life in Boulder is not so boring that a year feels like it lasts for 386 days or more. Just how long is your year?

We get at least 20% more sun here than in MD, and life is 25% more enjoyable…That translates into 385 days of fun!
(Actually the 385 number jocularly refers an error I made in estimating the number of days of sunshine on the blog back in 2007.)

I thought it just meant that, since “time flies when you’re having fun”, you felt like you got a whole extra day every two weeks or so, given how much fun you’re clearly having. Hey, wait a minute — you might have gotten 20 of MY days … !
