Conventional Wisdom

(Historical Notes: It’s cute how Past Me apparently things so highly of himself as to assume that anybody camping out in their car MUST have been copying what I did that one time.  Then again, with the number of times I’d had people bring it up again before this point, I guess it’s not THAT silly for my brain to immediately go there.  Either way, though, there’s a BIG difference between camping in January on the outskirts of Charlotte and doing so on the banks of the Potomac.  I really REALLY hope that dude brought some especially heavy blankets with him.)
