I live in a wooded area. There are no streetlights nearby, and after the sun sets it can get pitch black, especially on moonless nights.
Sometimes I take the garbage out before going to bed. The garbage can is in a locked bin that sits in a remote corner of the driveway where the houselights don’t reach.

CHICAGO—When Tyler Mathenia got his first pair of contact lenses while in middle school, he knew immediately that he wanted to be an optometrist. His then doctor always reminded him that no other medical profession offered its patients instant results the way optometry did and from then on, the seed was planted. “It’s not in many other places that you can walk in with a complaint of blurry vision and something as simple as placing a contact lens helps you see everything clear and crisp again. I love being able to make an impact on people’s lives with something so important as vision,” he stated.
