Frazz by Jef Mallett for July 06, 2021

I have been using headlamps for years, starting when I was a technician and wanted to see what I was doing.

And whatever you do, do NOT look at her while the light is on…

“I love that you don’t mind the hour.” Heck, she puts up with enough of his nonsense, he’d better put up with some of hers.

They really are made for each other!

gotta hope they also bought rear-view safety lights, too. Not all accidents tag the grill.

They both like running. They both like getting up early (to run).

They both like running in the dark. They both like wearing headlamps.

They both like each other.

I wonder what latitude they are on for it to be dark at this time of year at 5 am?

Headlights wouldn’t help me. My eyes have to be open at that ungodly hour for the light to do any good.

Dark at 5am in July? In America? Where are they? It’s full daylight at that time here in the UK.

Anybody get the reference on Frazz’s shirt?

Where I am, 5am is full daylight this time of year

Dark in California for a few more minutes. It is 0454

It’s not dark at 5AM right now.

It’s always darkest just before dawn.

A couple years ago I was camping, and a horrible number of jerks at the campground were wearing those $#$ headlamps. They’d walk up and look in your face to see if they recognize you… then when your vision returned, another one of these jerks would do it again.

Anyway they’re light on their feet.

The response I expected to hear: “Dunno. Why don’t you nudge me at 4:45 and ask again.”

Didn’t we just have a running gag a fortnight ago bemoaning how people spend far too much on grills, football stadia, and pickup trucks which are only actually useful a couple of times a year?

With all that lightpollution?

spooky!
