TechCrunch reports on a new bicycle path built in the Polish city of Pruszków. The surface of the path is phosphorescent: after a sunny day, it will glow through the nightime.

According to BBC News, there was a similar project in the Netherlands in 2014: phosphorescent paint was applied to 500 m (547 yards) of a highway. The hope was that the markings could replace electric lights.

    Welp. I suggest moving to the White Mountains of Arizona. [wikipedia.org]

    The night sky looks like this [pixabay.com] to the naked eye. Plus, property is cheap and you can have lots of guns and smoke weed.
