RAT POISON....June 27th at the
PrideFest on Greenwich and Washington sets. Went to get some food. As I passed
by one of the food booths and took out my camera to take a picture of what I
saw as something that I would not see again & no doubt someone out there
would not believe me, I saw a sign in back of the people cooking in the plant
section that there was Rat poison ...But still people were eating on the
cement ledge where the signs were ...What a photograph. But I was stopped by
an irate man who did not want his photo taken although I was not taking the
photo of him and he wasn't in the picture. So I put my camera away. What a
photo. As a photographer, I do respect people if they don't want to be in the
photo. ..

Nose Picker...June
27th on the way back to New York on the MetroNorth. Was with 6 friends. Left
on the very early morning train. Going to the Pride Parade with friends from
my old town that did not ever go...This parade is a show...Well the show
started on the train when I glanced over to the man and woman in 2 train seats
over only to find that the lady was turned towards the window and what was she
doing. Well, her index finger was straight up her nose. Did the man she was
with see her? Yes. What did he do? Nothing but read his paper. So seeing this
I quickly notified my friends who were unbelievers by the actions of this
woman...Now taking her finger out of her nose & looking at what she
picked. Then repeated the procedure. Some of my friends were disgusted
especially that early in the morning rest of us were laughing. And there she
was for the 3rd time picking away...Good Morning New York!
As
our train pulled into Grand Central.....

THE CHERRY MAN.....
Doesn't everyone go to the grocery store and go to the fruit isle and maybe
take a grape or even a CHERRY to try before you buy? There were no signs up
that said "No testing the fruit before you buy" ...I was waiting in
a long line to pay for my frozen foods along with the other item and also on a
time schedule so I could catch a yellow cab back home and feed my guests. But
there it was again. The flashing light at the register and a man yelling at
the cashier. I counted, 8 people ahead of me too. I looked at the other lines
and long, long, long. Security came over. It took 3 plain clothes people to
say to this man. "You opened the pack of cherries and you must pay for
them. Ring them up on his bill" They said to the cashier. So the cashier
did. Then the CHERRY MAN said "I didn't open that. It was like that. You
did it when you scanned the item. I didn't open anything." Yelling
loudly. "Charge him for the cherries." said one of the plain clothes
security men. "I am not paying for that or anything else." Said the
CHERRY MAN. and began to walk out of the store past the security. Oh all the
radios went off and police were called. 2 cars of 2 police each. By the time I
changed cashiers and walked out, the police were outside talking with
security...then a car drove up and parked in a NO Parking Zone! Out of the car
gets the Cherry Man. Yelling at the police. (I had to watch this one from a
distance) First the CHERRY MAN takes a cherry from the package. It was obvious
that it was a finger hole in the package, then says he is not going to pay for
that and blames the cashier. Security is called. He walks out. Police are
called. Now the Cherry Man is turning himself in. And as I watched this from a
distance. A police officer, not the ones with him, walked over to his car and
put a ticket on it! What luck did this guy have today, all because of a tase
of a CHERRY! I left in a cab and laughed. I know the CHERRY MAN did'nt know
about the ticket yet. Wait until he goes to his car! What a day for the CHERRY
MAN!!!
ANOTHER SUBWAY DATE!!!!
I am so very happy! I met someone who is so very cool and from another no, not
planet, but state. Good I do like the long distance relationships. So I met my
date at the train station and now let the adventures begin...
OH I HAVE TO GO BACK TO WORK NOW...BUT i WILL FINISH BY TONIGHT...PROMISE
...YOU GOT TO HEAR THIS ONE....SUBWAY DATE 2
FASHION STATEMENT (this is part of SUBWAY DATE 2)
Here it is! Suddenly it began to rain while I was on my date and we were
walking the street festival on Madison. So I had to step aside and watch
people. I had a hat so I was ok. I saw an interesting hat too! It was made
with a plastic bag. I saw one tourist search the trash can filled with ends of
food for something to cover her head and she found a plate. I began to walk
back to 42nd stree and while the people were walking fast a man riding a bike,
wore a brown box around him singing while he rode his bike....I tell ya, the
fashion in New York...Love it!!! and I really do. My date was having a great
time! Had not been to New York in over 10 years. Now meets me and I can have
more
SUBWAY DATES
THE MAN IN THE WHEEL CHAIR (this is part of SUBWAY DATE 2)
Ok, so I decide to take my date to the street fair on Madison Ave. I need a
watch so I can tell the time to all the street people that ask me. This
happens to me alot. Where ever I go, someone all most always askes for the
time. I guess its because smoking is banned from alot of places and no one
asks me for a light anymore. Do I smoke, only sometimes. Gave it up for years
but that craving is still there. Oh, that is another post! The cost of
cigarettes and the man on the street!
Anyway back to "THE MAN IN THE WHEEL CHAIR"...Yippee! I found some
cheap watches!!! and the crowd that was there, I had to wait to get into a
space to see any of the display watches. I finally get there and my date is
with me. We found a small space (kind of like a space in a subway train in Ny!)
to view the cool cheap $10 watches. I am in the process of asking if there was
a deal to buy 2 to the seller behind the watches when I hear a voice say a few
times and really sad...'CAN I GET IN PLEASE, CAN I GET IN PLEASE?" I turn
around to see where this sad voice is comming from. It is an older man in a
wheel chair. I felt so sorry for him. No one else turned around. I said
"Sure, take my spot" and I turned to my friend to say "Let's
come back" and I began to walk away..did you know that this MAN was now
(by the miracle of watches!!!) was getting up from his wheel chair with both
feet on the gound and proceeded to take my space. I was so not happy that I
turned to my friend and said "LOOK!!! HE IS NOT CRIPPLED!!!" Then we
both laughed and remembered the time I took a photo of a church with a man in
front of it with a sign in cardboard and a milkcrate. The sign said "I
can't walk, please help." At that time I was NOT photographing him but
the church. He though I was and by the MIRACLE (Again it happened!!!)he got up
and was yelling across the street (where I was) I want $5 for that
photo...well that story is posted on my web
I want
$5 for that...Maybe it's my energy and I can cure people that are in wheel
chairs and don't even know it!!!! No, I know I don't have that power...Not
crippled, still laughing at this one...only in New York! I love it here and
may God Bless!!!
My burger was cut in half...why
is my hamburger cut in half...I hate that when a restaurant cuts my sandwich
in half...sounds minor but let me tell you, I am not a happy person when this
happens...One restaurant I went to I ordered a Gyro and when I got it it was
cut into 4 pieces..why? I did not send it back although I should have...and
now another restaurant I ordered a cheese burger to go and I got it to the
park...that is where I was eating and relaxing ...and I went to open the
container and saw my cheesebuger cut in half....why? Now it was falling
apart...I hate this...so now when I order something I always tell them NOT TO
CUT MY SANDWICH IN HALF!!!! Thanks for listening and if you would like to
respond, you can find the email address on my website...
