Sunday MiscellaMay

In(troit) Saturday's wee hours, my Irish Nuclear Family were trudging towards Dawn [above] for the 2024 Darkness Into Light event in Phoenix Park, Dublin. It's the 15th such annual event organized by Pieta House which holds the brief for reducing suicide in Ireland. There's a trade-off. If they walked to sunrise in January on St Fursey's Day the event could kick off at 07:07 and people could get to The Off by public transport. On 11th May otoh, with a start at 03:48, it's hardly worth going to bed the night before.  otoh-otoh, yesterday the weather was perfick and such an outcome is more likely in May than Jan.
