Solar watches

I have enough light on motion sensors that you are never in the dark anywhere inside or out. This is not reading light. It is just enough to see where you are going.

We have a couple of LED night lights in the kitchen. He gets up every night at midnight for a bowl of oatmeal and a dose of medication that upsets an empty stomach. He doesn't want to blast himself with bright lights and not be able to get back to sleep. Years in laser research made him comfortable at very low light levels.

As for outdoors, burglars will just have to bring their own lights. I don't have anything on a motion sensor. There are enough windows and doors invisible from the street and just three feet off the ground that nobody would see anyone trying to break in anyhow.

Most of my outside lights on motion detectors are also low level light. I only have a couple floods. In the kitchen and bath, rope light under the toe kicks and some more rope over the train track in the kitchen. It is all indirect light.

Yup if your device supports it.

I just look at a monitor. I have a bunch of cameras and the feed can be seen several places. I am exploiting the old cable system coax. I can get those cameras on most of the TVs. Just switch over to the A/V in.

I'd wake up the cat and the damn thing would want to be fed. Considering this time of the year he sleeps on a chair out on the deck there's nothing wrong with his hearing.

I bought a battery powered LED motion sensor spotlight to try to discourage the skunk. The skunk thanked me for lighting up the area so he could find the cat food easier.

I have a set of dimmable LED light fixtures installed in the soffit all around the house, connected to a smart switch that I control from my phone. I programmed them to turn on at dusk and off 30 minutes before dawn, and they use the Internet to figure out when dusk and dawn are. I normally keep them at 20%, but when they were newly installed I initially set them to

100% brightness and the yard on each side of the house was lit up like a prison yard during an attempted breakout. I was surprised the neighbors didn't say anything.

Perhaps. It's not worth it to me.

I always get up in the dark. Don't you have any awareness of where things in your house are?

You must be an infant. I don't usually get up to piss in the night. My husband is up every couple of hours. He drinks a _lot_ of water.

Ah. My house isn't exactly tidy, but the clutter is on the furniture, not the floors.

Still not sufficient to change my habits.

During the cold months a black cat sprawled someplace adds to the excitement. Any horizontal surface is a good place to sleep.

Is the thank you in the form of spraying or not spraying?

They were glad to know you were confined.

Not spraying... There are at least two skunks and I've opened the door several times to find them on the deck with no unpleasant incidents. One night this week I thought it was the cat but opened the door to find myself staring at a skunk's ass. I think it was just because he was pointed in that direction but I closed the door rapidly.

The cat has staked out my yard and part of the neighbor's as his and runs any foreign cats off but wisely ignores the skunks.

If I walk down to the cluster mailbox there is a point where the cat stops following me. He's there waiting when I get back but apparently that is his boundary line.

I'm not sure about the cat's relations with the deer.

No and no. He has always liked to drink a lot of water.

The cool floor tile feels so nice against your face.
