I really wonder about folks sometimes. I know the spring weather is wonderful and the birds are chirping, dogs barking...yeah yeah yeah. But really, must old men who look fairly sane reveal themselves to be quite the opposite?!
As I walked to the train station in the Flat Iron District decompressing from the work day, my poor ears were accosted by the strangest shrill. I scanned the blocks wondering if someone's toy dog was accidentally stepped on by a passing pedestrian. Nope, Fido trotted on. Then my eyes locked on the source. Some old guy dressed in an ascot thought to make a personal announcement about his love for spring. His fake opera voice hitting notes that I am sure do not really exist on the musical scale.
I get into the 14th Street station and as I await the Q, again another opera buff walking the platform screaming notes that echoed into the tunnels. Ugggghhh, there goes my decompression. I think I just got the bends.

See K, this is what worries me about the change in weather...I think it impacts folks on mental level that they aren't even aware of, similar to full moon action and high tides LOL. For some reason they become more verbose, more outgoing and generally much more annoying as the temperatures rise.
Isn't this also the time of year for new love? I've always been a fan of the emotions that typically accompany the birds chirping, butterflies flying and blooming flowers that comes along with Spring...that is of course until some crazy operatic fool attacks your eardrums with off the chart screeching and destroys your whole decompressing flow LOLOLOL.
Mind you I was walking at lunch time today and overheard some homeless folks discussing the swine flu epidemic as a reason why they should no longer share cigarettes...are they really serious?
