Herding

Yesterday I saw a family of five entering Macy's. They were all wearing cowboy hats. They could just as well have been wearing T-shirts that said, "Steal from us! We're from the Prairie!"
I thought it was a bit cold to be wearing 10-gallon suede hats instead of wool winter caps, but they made me laugh and they were contributing to the citys' economy.
Ironically, I passed a cheap diner in midtown about 8 hours later, and who was sitting there in the window eating their diner dinner? The Cowboy Hat Family ... still wearing their hats.
Indoors.

Needing Direction

This guy was walking on 7th Avenue and yelling into his cell phone,

"I'm on my way! I'm walkin' downtown right now! If I make there on time, I make it. Why you givin' me grief?"

Thing is -- he was actually walking uptown.

I wondered if I should let him know he was going the wrong way, or if he was just a really good liar who didn't really want to see the person on the other end of the call.
