[Grovenet] A bit of phun with physics . . . . . .

[Dale Wiley]

 There is a very definite connection with the shorter days, and mental
problems, and deaths by suicide. The holidays are also times of increase
peril for the ones who are at risk for various reasons.

I don't have the statistics right at hand , but my wife (nurse administrator
at OHSU for 15 years) can cite them fairly well, as she sees that all the
time.

I am going to do a bit of remodel on my office,new lighting and paint we
have a trip to San Diego / Ensenada planned for mid January to see one of
our Marines, and another one in March to see the other Marine at Yuma. Just
to try and break up the dark days. It gets much better after the solstice,
but it takes a bit for the light to make much of a return.

I myself do not much care for the dark days coming up, and not being real in
touch with pagan festivals that celebrate the solstice, but I still look
forward to those days when the light starts returning.

I have a friend who is seriously affected by Seasonal Affective Disorder.
SAD is a good acronym for it. I've read that death is most likely to occur
in the early morning, near dawn. I wonder if there's a correlation during
the winter, shortly before spring?
