I often walk down Howard Street after nightfall. About a week ago it was so dark that I could barely see where I was going. More than once I walked into the bushes alongside the road...but I was able to stay out of the graveyards!
With a waxing moon, as we have right now, a nighttime walk on Howard Street becomes surreal. The soft, diffuse moonlight filters through the tree branches, while shadows from the live oaks dapple the sandy lane and the cemetery fences. Just one more simple pleasure for us who live on Howard Street. Try it yourself; just keep an eye out for ghosts!

Given your history with him, it was lucky you didn't run into Uncle Evans!
