<p>riding a bike back from the conference to the Best Western in Fla,
I had to completely abandon the idea that you can see the road ahead
and just trust that it was there.  My eyes went into a different mode;
there was no figure-and-ground; only dark, dark grey with the
occasional motion-clue.  I could see how sailors appreciated
starlight/moonlight.  Oncoming traffic was nice while it shone light
on my path, but then when they went away, I was blind until my eyes
reset.</p>
