Today is the winter solstice, that day on which the Earth's north pole reaches its maximum tilt away from the Sun.     

On this day, today, December 21, 2021, the strongest earthquake reported by the United States Geological Survey, the USGS is a magnitude 5.9 quake - occurring 61 km East of Port Alsworth, Alaska.     

Yesterday saw a magnitude 6.2 earthquake just 38km W of Petrolia, CA.  That’s a little strong for that area, and they continued with a number of aftershocks today.     

Also on today, or as of today, I have Good news for me personally.  I have a new music coach.  As of today, I’m working with Dawn Blair, one of the *many* extraordinary music teachers at The Music Authority in Cumming, Georgia.
