After watching Green Lantern (meh) with my wife, I came home to spend time with the little ones. As it got dark, it cooled a bit, so I rigged up my running partners helmet with a headlamp and tail light, put a reflective vest on her, and we went out for a dark run. She loved watching the street signs and license plates illuminate when she shined her light on them. We ran several extra blocks here and there to try and find where the fireworks were being detonated, but had no luck. Several "ghosts" appeared out of nowhere. (people with no night-time safety gear) I'm amazed how close you have to be to see someone in clothes. It's a miracle people don't get run over more often. I guess most peds stay out of the street. |
