Leon,

Let's not forget to caution our fellow listees that camping in hidden out of
the way places is not always a good idea. Busy parking lots are much safer
than out-of-the-way ones. Exercise caution and don't forget what happened to
that poor woman last year. I'm ashamed to say I forgot her name already.
