It’s Monday. I woke up this morning with a crappy head cold generally feeling a little under the weather. It is still freezing here in the city, even if the the sun is shining brightly. And there are a million (at least) things to do on my “to do” list. On the positive side, Ron is back from a ten day trip and the household is back to normal. After a quick tea with the ladies, I headed down to Trader Joe’s to grab a few items. My mind was a bit foggy and I was daydreaming a bit, trying to think of what I would write a post on this morning. And then I saw this:
Alligators in the NYC sewers?!
Just another day in the city 😉
Right out front of the Trader Joe’s on W. 72nd street is where this advertising display is set up. If you walk by too quickly you might miss it, thinking that it is just another detour due to sidewalk construction. Hilarious.
And then it got me thinking. There is always something going on in NYC. No matter how mundane an errand you are running you are bound to find something interesting to look at or experience. You never know what you will wake up to. This really is part of the allure of this city. Walking down the street is always entertaining. No wonder I am easily distracted by shiny objects, there is always something to tantalize the senses.
I wasn’t the only one who stopped to admire the display, a few other non-jaded types where also taking pics. One guy even commented that it had made his Monday morning. Mission accomplished. After all, we all need something to talk about besides the weather, don’t we?
Have a great day!
It's Always An Adventure 
Alligators?!? Huh. Is that safer than the Egyptian Cobra that I understand escaped from the Bronx Zoo??? Let’s get that guy caught before I come down to visit….. 🙂
I know, that cobra story is CRAZY!! They still haven’t found it yet- YIKES!! Can’t wait to SEE you xox
You have to love New York…it never disappoints with the wacky things you’ll see going down any street! Love it! 🙂
Thanks Patty- I like that- “NYC, the city that never disappoints” =)
That is what I LOVE about living in a big city. All you have to do is walk outside and you see something randomly cool. I always find stuff in London as well. One time I went on a walk in the city and ended up seeing Rowan Atkinson filming Johnny English 2!
i love, love, love the alligator going in the sewer. we need more scenes like that here in my boring suburb!
