try to remember no matter where you are by 5:30 it is dark and the day ends unless you have an active RV park. Been in Az and dark mean cold and fast. been in Tx and dark is dark in RGV not so much as their flea markets close (big deal down there.
Good point. In my Winter home in the RGV there is more foot traffic on the streets after dark than before, as people exercise and visit the various facilities for entertainment and games. We get some cold weather, but if it is warm during the day, it is warm in the evening. Which is most of the time.
Wow, 5:30 and nothing to do? I'm outta there! For me it's decision time; volley ball or tennis or pickle ball or the pool with pool side live music or dancing or cards or the wood shop or going fishing or having friends over or etc... I'm not going to sit around and watch my latter years disappear without a fight!
Reminds me of an old joke "so does your headlights stop working when it gets dark?" That's the problem with getting older one's night vision starts failing. Add to that the feeling that you're no-longer in Kansas, and most older snowbirds don't venture far from the compound.
