We're in that annual "twilight zone" of daylight when we gradually close in on the winter solstice (officially fully arriving on December 21) and, this coming weekend, setting our clocks back an hour. (*)
All that means that we all should exercise caution when driving through the Terrace because of the tricky lighting at various times of the day. Janet Fowler has a particular request for other residents and their visitors.
"Dear Terrace neighbors," she says. "Please use extra care when driving around our circle when it is dark out. I was almost hit by one of you this morning in front of the mail kiosk when walking my dog at 6:30 a.m. It is getting dark so early at night and staying dark longer in the morning, but dogs still need walking. Between people and deer one never knows what could be around the corner."
(*) Standard Time begins at 2 a.m. Sunday, so set your clocks back an hour when you go to bed Saturday night and enjoy the extra 60 minutes of snoozing.
