Thanks Don!
I have no trouble at events/crowded city streets/crowds/marches, etc. Eg,

http://www.rgaphoto.com/2013-Carnival/index.html
and several in here:

However I've found Sacramento to be rather spread out and opportunities for
walking around photos where I encounter isolated individuals to be the
norm. For example on the same walk a young couple was arguing; great
opportunity. However I didn't want to insert myself; he was tipsy (from
whatever) and she was pissed. I'm sure I wouldn't want to become part of
the scene, so I didn't.
But thank you so much for the advice and guidance. Truly appreciated,
Bob
