| My first day in New York was Thanksgiving day. It's a big thing here. They have this parade that stops the city.Kermit was there. Funny, he looks smaller on TV. |
|
Santa Clause was there. He was riding a duck, of course. |
|
| The dancing girls looked cute in their Santa costumes. |
 |
| They were closely followed by the fat and crippled marching band. |
 |
The aftermath.New Yorkers take it in their stride. |
 |
| I decided to visit the Rockerfeller center I was here for over thirty minutes and only thing this guy kept mumbling was "special photo, special photo...", ragardless of if anyone was around. |
 |
If you were feeling kinda special, your special photo would kinda look like this.Well, it might be special if you smiled. |
 |
| Dude with gun. He says he has only used it training.Somehow, this is supposed to make me feel safe. |
 |
Skating in the Rockerfeller center. |
