After six or seven hours there's little trace of the skyglow at the point of sunset. (I'm sure *someone* marked it for reference)

By an hour or so later it's back, slowly strengthening.

It's gotten quite chilly (say 41F/5C) by the time the western sky is brightening. Say around 12 hours after sunset (none of those with watches or other timepieces thought to note the time of sunset) the sun rises, exactly where it set.

a planet can't change the direction of its rotation that abruptly. so there's something strange going on here.

Well, if it was rotating, the stars would be moving too, unless they were rotating with it.

Er, I meant that for the stars to show the lack of movement you've noted they'd have to be rotating with it.

There is game. You just have to catch it. Tall grass makes it harder to spot the small gamed (other than birds). The larger critters tend to stay away.
