About the other shot. I had listened to the rain early in the morning, and remembered the kids were out there, so I got up from my toasty bed and went across town, hoping to capture some wet and dejected demonstrators. The sponsors had cleared the kids out because of the high winds, and the rather feeble-built shanties were in danger of, and some indeed did, collapse. Had there been forlorn people to shoot, I surely would have shot them, and that probably would have been my paw this week. As it is, I can only speculate, as I said, the kids learned a greater lesson about having a safe and secure place to sleep in this case than they would have learned in the pretend shack-a-thon they had planned.
