Sunset was 6:55pm last night, PLUS it was very overcast and raining hard at 7:00pm last night.  I was driving further east on Northern Lights Blvd at 7:00pm.  Believe me, it was difficult to see at 7:00pm.

That said, too many people wear dark clothing while crossing streets or biking here in fall and winter.  It seems to me that so many people are careless about their safety.  The old phrase comes to mind:  "You can be right, dead right."  It's a sad reality.
