What I Saw – March 20, 2014
A seagull who knows how to use the crosswalk.
That makes him smarter than some of the people I see around town, who disregard the lines, walk in front of moving cars, ignore traffic signals and are all-around oblivious.
And this bird’s not jaywalking. Gull-walking maybe, never jaywalking.
Speaking of birds, there are chickens on 7th Street. Yes, chickens. Is this even legal?
I thought keeping livestock within borough limits is not permitted.
An idea whose time has come?
