When does afternoon become evening? And, at what point between evening and nighttime is nightfall?

There's all kind of official criteria for that kind of stuff except the afternoon to evening part. As far as night, The FAA says 1 hour after sunset. Then there's evening civil twilight, nautical twilight and so forth which are all various daytime to nighttime transitions. (and of course there's nighttime to daytime periods as well)
Myself, if I can see without a flashlight, it's day. If I need a light, it's night.

The Mexican restaurant food was tasty. The salsa at this place is bland, but the food is great.
Sometimes the salsa is good at these places and the food -- not so good. Trying to figure out
the formula to always get excellent salsa and tasty food. Not sure I've learned that trick yet.

I fear the restaurants here would not have a BYOS policy. Some are known to be sensitive about bringing in food items.
Although I have seen some parents seated in restaurants with their children and a McD's bag in front of them. But I'm not
one to tell -- in these instances -- a chicken nuggee is a chicken nuggee

So the Amazon order says 2 day free shipping with Prime. BUT, we learn that is actually 2 day shipping from the time they have the item arrive in their warehouse for shipping, or 2 days from the time they determine they are going to ship. NOT-NOT-NOT 2 ACTUAL days from the time of purchase. It will actually not arrive for 2 or 3 weeks. THEN, when you try to cancel the order (since it is not actually in their possession) the customer service agent says that the order cannot be cancelled -- even though it was made less than 24 hours ago. Then they send you an email to see how their customer service phone call went. You rate it as essentially "CRAP" so they ask if you want to "chat" or "call" [If you press call, you will be in another call with a customer service agent who will basically tell you they cannot cancel the order]. If I have ever went around the BUSH it is over this. Jeepers, creepers this is a real load of

Same type of "deal" on free shipping taking an extra couple days. I could have sent back the cordless hammer drill, but I paid for bare equipment and got 2 batteries & another charger! Along with
Bought two 12v hot cups $4 different in price 2 find the better= both the same, identical.
May even out, but private companies listing on Amazon get stuff way faster than the zon

Only no about nightfall being shown by the edge of night which is a shadow horizontal in the east IIRC
