I assumed you would note that we are closest to the sun now (perihelion). We will be moving further away (aphelion). But that's just science, it's not fun.

I love to say at this time of year we are falling back into the fire. Totally wrong but poetic.

The post was tongue-in- cheek. Love the graphic.
