Not at all hot, since it was October and November. Very pleasant.

We retire so early in the evening and get up so early in the morning which I assume that many seniors do also.......I was thinking more of the supermarket being open very early in the a.m. as ours is, since it is open 24 hours.......this is convenient for hospital nurses and staff who work the overnight shift or late evening shift.......police, etc. who can pick up some things on their way home.........we see so many people early in the morning.

We've never gone in the middle of the night or at 2 a.m.
But we do get up with the chickens.......

We like to get the shopping done early a.m. and get it all put away early.
We are often back by 6 or 7 a.m. or even sooner.........whereas the Publix, etc. didn't open until 7 a.m. in TV. Of course, we are still shopping to stock up for when the kids and grandkids visit, etc., along with their friends who also come to our home when our adult kids are in town for long visits.

I'm sure that pattern will change once we relocate.........
Eating out sounds good to me.........less frequent supermarket visits.

So many seniors have insomnia........so earlier opening at least good for those as well, whenever it's a heat wave. Get it out of the way, not in the noon time heat.
