NY Snaps - and a little verbiage to boot










A not so subtle reminder that the USA is at war. By and large you wouldn't have known - until you looked closer. Every night on the news there were storys. At every airport there were servicemen in desert camo uniforms strolling around with machine guns either having returned or about to ship out to Iraq. The recruiting station pictured is in the middle of Times Square - multi multi million dollar property - and perfectly positioned to catch the eye of teenagers out shopping or catching a movie. Pizza, popcorn and a 12mth tour in Baghdad.





We had primo seats for the baseball. And I found out that the seventh innings stretch isn't a passage of play - its an actual stretch as in you all stand up and touch your toes. Ours was accompanied by the YMCA.








These are the girls on the Brooklyn bridge - well three out of 4. Empire State top left.
