Why no "frosted" porch lights

[angelica...]

Hoist with my own petard. There was a shooting around the block on Thanksgiving morning. Apparently a dustup between acquaintances, so unlikely to affect me.

Because you keep replying?

Same here. They can use their headlights.

The telephone is more than 100 years old.

Before the telephone, people would leave calling cards if the person they came to see was not receiving visitors.

I should get a doorbell cam. As it is now, I have to go to the door and turn on the porch light to see who's standing there. I can't remember the last time someone came to the door at all, and even longer since it was after dark.

I live just outside a giant metropolis of 100,000 people.

These days all it takes is a couple shopping centers nearby with parking lot lights that never turn off. Then the northern assholes who created our "village" decided we couldn't live without street lights on US 41 and they installed the brightest LEDs they could find. It is pretty strange that you can drive down a pretty dark road for miles, then suddenly feel like you are at home plate at a Yankees night game and a couple miles later you are back in the dark. Of course as soon as you turn off 41, you are in the dark again too. Those HOA people want mood lighting in their neighborhoods.

It also turns out that Amazon had a few of them, maybe 10 out of 200, and Home Depot had a lot of them,maybe 12 out of 50
