Some of the older Villages don’t have sidewalks. Please pay attention.
Sidewalks are often concrete. Old bones may chose the more cushioned asphalt to finish their walk. Most walkers I know carry reflective bands at night. They are cheaper than vests. That is what The Villages may give you if you walk home at night. Don't know about early morning. They probably misjudged the sun up time.

Be kind. You may be walking more if your Doc suggests it.

I bought one of these devices, the Elite model, to wear while working in certain conditions. The light is extremely well made and is very bright. They make a cheaper model as well.
