16 October 2024 – There’s “boring old Clock Time,” as I observed in my post of 13 July, and then there’s Crow Time — an infinitely more enjoyable way to measure the changing length of day. This means I can determine dawn-to-dusk by looking up the stats, or by simply looking out my window.

Crows leave their Burnaby roost for Vancouver roughly at dawn, and return from Vancouver to their roost roughly at dusk.

When I wrote about all this in mid-July, the afternoon commute passed my window at around 9:30 pm.

Today?

At 5:34 pm.

Oh yes. The days draw in.
