nypd blue


[click on picture to enlarge - taken via iPhone]

Last Sunday the Hispanic Day Parade took over Fifth Avenue. Well, that's what I learned when I saw these familiar blue barricades blocking my usual way to the museum. You did not exactly expect me to wait for the parade and report back, did you?

Uhoh,as I post this I just realized that November theme is something blue... Uhoh... Ah well...

Funny! :D

Hispanic Day parade? Yeah, I know, google it!

(A while ago this guy on public radio was saying that he hated the term Hispanic because "I am not Hispanic, I am not Latino, I am not South American. I am Mexican!")

Uh... OK.

Salut Eliane,

A quick question here - I know it's unrelated but anyway...as you know I'm heading to Paris really soon and my French isn't in tip-top condition!

How do you say the following in French?
1) Get Lost!
2) Thief! Thief! (Voleur?)

Merci!

I'm wondering how old those barricades are? I can't remember seeing wooden ones in forever. Do you suppose that prisoner labor built them? Just curious.
