The sun makes me sad

In the last few weeks, the sun has changed dramatically here in Philadelphia. On September 1st, the sun set at 7:33. Today it sets at 7:03. That's a 30 minute difference in less than two weeks. But not only does it get dark earlier, the sun never makes it as high in the sky as it does in the bright summertime.

Why does this make me sad?

I keep thinking that it's later than it is. Just now, I was thinking, "Gosh, it must be 4 already." Nope. 2:40.

2:40!

In December, the sun will set at 4:35. Then I'll be thinking, "Gosh, it must be 4 already." Nope. 12:00 noon.

Noon!?
