While out shooting photos last night of what is considered a rare occurence here in Southern California I realized that I left the house unarmed. No gun, no knife, no nuthin. So when approached by four young toughs with shaven heads up on the hill at 2 am I had only my wits, (some would say I was at a distinct disadvantage) They wanted to know what I was doing,(taking pictures) is that an expensive camera (yes it is), it that your truck (yup). I got them involved in the photo process and we all got along quite well.
