How on earth do you manage napping on the ground without attracting curious glances from the neighbors or getting chilly (at least in the winter)

I'm wondering about that, here, in a similar fashion. I sometimes head across the street to a public bench wherein, I might sit, and enjoy the light, the sycamore tree, the comings and goings- and then I'l start to go fetal position- that strong light, and the exposure- and then I"M DOWN.

I"m flat out lying on the bench. And so- I decided that I just DON"T CARE..what anyone thinks.

Similarly- the outside chairs aren't appealing, but the collapse there, on the padded chaise lounge is very appealing. I"m DOWN again.

There is something nice about being on the actual ground.
If I run into a living person, and decide to exchange a few sentences- I am forever sort of spiraling in a gravity effect, and the ground just seems so very inviting.

And yes- its can be chilly there. And rocks can be cold!

We could start a funny thread. It would be less work than a screenplay, but if some eager beaver shows up to write it, all the material would be laid out for them.
