Almost Thanksgiving

According to another cop who did not want to be photographed, these are 
New York's sexiest cops. 
Mr. September, October etc.
Anyway they look pretty cheerful hanging out in Union Square.

I went to Dean and Delucca in Soho yesterday to buy olives.

The cashier was very cheerful there too.

These birds caught my eye in a rather crunchy granola looking shop.

As did this little, real bird hopping round in the drizzle.

A pleasant surprise when I got home....

........a  package of presents from India, via Norway.

Britt-Arnhild is a wonderfully generous friend and blogger supreme.

Look at the astounding richness of the purple in the scarf!

New York People

New York people are watched over by the police who tend to be plump and like to hang out near where they sell food. However, they have never been less than polite to me.
This character is watching all the masses of somewhat colorless people swirl by on Penn Station.



New York people travel downtown on the E train. When they are told to change trains at W.14th at catch the A train to Spring Street - because there is work on the tracks - they do as they are told only to discover the A train does not stop at Spring Street.
When they try to take a photo of the little engine that does the track work, they get yelled at by a subway worker......



Or they arrive at Penn Station from Long Island all set to make their fortunes.....



only to end up serving coffee at Chelsea Market on 9th Avenue.........



or pretending to be Elvis........



After they have retired they can walk home from church with a friend.......
