Daft Night Coming Up

Apparently the census wants me to join a team of folks who will soon stay up all night to count all the homeless folks bedding down in their homeless camps in Sacramento. This strikes me as a remarkably stupid thing to do. A lot of the camps are in challenging environments, like in terrain along the American River. Easy to blunder into holes in the dark at 3 a.m. Plus, homeless folks are a bit paranoid and quite wary of strangers. Especially strangers in groups who don't belong in the area. Like we will be.
