Tonight my wife and I were walking down a major metropolitan city street. For the next two or more blocks on our side of the street was dark (as in you cannot see Nader trees kind of dark ). However, we could see a tall figure weaving towards us (he was silhouetted against the light at the end of the black tunnel). He was half to a full block away. I did not feel fear, etc., but at age 66 did not like the idea of encountering him in total darkness with my wife, unarmed, and possibly having to deal with him. So, I asked her to cross the street to the little side. I figured at least then I could see and if he crossed the street I would know something was up and might be able to prepare. Fortunately he kept going, but appeared to be drunk. My question is did I do the logical and prudent thing to cross the street into the light?
