More On the Urban Camper

Yesterday afternoon, as I was crossing First Street on my way toward the IBB, the Urban Camper was on the other side of First, walking down the street carrying a very large paper-wrapped bundle over his right shoulder and something about a foot-and-a-half long, also wrapped in paper, in his left hand.

Intrigued, once I was on the his side of First Street, I quickly and quietly closed the distance between us, the better to observe his bundle. It was, I discovered, a very large saw and an equally large axe! I'm not sure what the paper-wrapped object he had in his left was, but it was of a size consistent with a human thigh bone. The Urban Camper was smiling his beatific smile and talking to himself, eveidently quite pleased with himself.

Whatever next?
