Surprisingly Dark Tonight

I finally got out for a short walk about 7 p.m. tonight. (It’s been a few days.) I don’t mind walking in my neighborhood at night for two reasons: It normally feels safe and most people keep their porch lights on.

Though there are houses in our neighborhood with holiday lights, there are fewer than in previous years. And today, there were a lot fewer houses with their porch lights on. It seemed dark!

Unfortunately, my headlamp is going dim, so I didn’t feel well lit. I did wear a reflective vest, but I didn’t feel as comfortable out there today.

Though I needed to walk longer, I cut it a little short due to dark.
