Opportunities missed are legion. The PETA demonstration with the naked gal (a fox) with magic marker outlines of the various meat cuts, freezing her butt and whatever off in March while others held up protest signs, someone driving down the interstate with both feet propped up and hanging out the window, etc. Bummer that none of them have viewfinders, but maybe I can learn how not to drop it.
