Please be very careful driving out there!

What did you notice about tonight commute home?! It's DARK! Just a reminder that just because the sun is setting earlier doesn't mean the people are! Parents, if your kids are walking after dark, put them in something reflective and insist they are using sidewalks! Watch for wildlife in the road, they are more active at night! Remember your glasses if you need them for night driving! And please, please, PLEASE, slow down and use caution! It could save a life!
