IT WILL NEVER AGAIN be this dark, this early. At least that's what the rotation of the earth promises. It's the darkest day of the year, though it's all a matter of inches, seconds and minutes. Statistically, though, the proclamation is sound. The sun is already threatening its departure at 4:15 p.m. in downtown Minneapolis, hovering above the brown roof of the Target Center, pulling thick grey clouds over itself like a blanket. It would all seem especially doomed if not for the fact that Christmas is also four days away.
