Yup, I like the idea of a curtain rod and two easy to open or close
curtains there. No muss, no fuss, no unpacking curtains, no reason not
to close the curtains if Mrs Squirrel is feeling too visible. Right now
I resist pulling out the front window wraparound, and would even if it
only needed to be snapped up behind the front seats. On account of
tiredness or sloth, pretty much.
