There is nothing than you can see or experience in New York that would qualify as unusual. Maybe that's true of any big city, but I don't think you would see this scene in London, Paris, or Rome. It's Summer and Miles and I are in Central Park, riding bikes that we've rented.We've just had a New York Moment. We're foreigners here and don't have a firm appreciation for the bike-riding rules in the Park. Miles is have fun, making tight "S" turns with his bike, wavering back and forth. Unknown to us, coming up quickly behind us is a World Class Champion Central Park Bike Riding Jerk, who begins to yell at Miles to "Hold the Track! Hold the Track! Hold your MotherF***ing Track!" and then speed on by giving Miles the finger. I yell back to him that he has just cussed out a 10-year old kid, and add "You Schmuck" for good measure. And we bike on knowing that we have had a New York Baptism of a kind. The folks in this picture are having another kind of New York Moment. This is a wedding Party on their way either to the wedding or to the wedding Party. They all look good. They stopped to buy drinks, but not Hot Dogs, from the vendor. Life is good. 

Stumble It!
