Since it's a very nice night, I asked ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
cattitude to go for a bit of a walk with me, just around the neighborhood.
We saw pretty sky, one other walker (on the other side of the street), a few cars and, a few blocks away, the 73 bus.
I wanted to go out because this was probably the warmest it will be in the next 72 hours, and I like walking around in the dark sometimes. This part of Belmont, unlike our old neighborhood in East Arlington, has street lights at least as far as we went or saw. To go from our old place to the Bikeway in the middle of the night required either very good night vision or a flashlight. The street lights are definitely useful for walking around, but without them we might have seen more than one star.
The lights in the neighborhood are spread out in a way that means a lot of them produced the odd radial lines that are an effect of my post-cataract replacement lenses. I asked Dr. Lazarra about that, in one of the post-surgery follow-up appointments. He said it was a known and harmless effect: the synthetic lenses aren't as flexible as the natural ones in the human eye.

Yes, a good time to walk. I like seeing the stars, myself, which is slightly easier in the new neighborhood (fewer trees plus farther from downtown).
