We’ll return to New York City with gusto in the coming days. Today’s post is a bit more random. The cats were just begging, early, for treats Round 3. I had an explosive sneezing fit (just the usual) and they both ran out of the room. Momentary peace. I spoke too soon. Dudo is back and he’s slapping his paper bag to get my attention. Excuse me while I do my job.
Regresaremos a la ciudad de Nueva York con entusiasmo en los próximos días. La publicación de hoy es un poco más aleatoria. Los gatos justo estaban pidiendo golosinas desde, temprano, Ronda 3. Tuve un ataque de estornudo explosivo (lo habitual) y ambos salieron corriendo de la habitación. Paz momentánea. Hablé demasiado pronto. Dudo ha vuelto y está golpeando su bolsa de papel para llamar mi atención. Disculpe mientras hago mi trabajo.
• ¡Las rosas del desierto siguen en flor desde el 3 de marzo!
• Moda callejera de Nueva York.
• Ready to wear in Fuengirola.
• Listo para llevar en Fuengirola.
• La momia (mamá) de alguien en el Museo Metropolitano de Arte.
• Times Square es una zona libre de armas.
• Fuera del Museo Guggenheim. “No se permiten armas en el museo. Hable con un guardia de seguridad si lleva un arma.” ¿Sólo en Estados Unidos?

I am picturing Dudo carrying a brown bag for his lunch and demanding you give him treats!
Proof positive that hideous fashion is universal!
Guns? Seriously.
Bob:
The current bag is a giant paper shopping bag that both cats could fit in along with a day’s worth of treats.
Those gun signs truly are an American phenomena.
Debra:
I was stunned when I saw those. I read yesterday that they went up in late 2022 after my last visit.
Pattern is in fashion, all the patterns at once! I think it works like camo. Boud.
Boud:
And oh to live in a world where all those patterns are in the background.
Weapons, only my razor sharp sarcasm.
David:
Well, sorry you either have to leave it home or tell the guard about it. Did you tell security at the Guggenheim?
“Speak to a security guard if you are carrying a weapon”? Good heavens. Anywhere else in the world, a person would be arrested for carrying one!
Love the cats and the desert roses, I have seen prettier mummies – but as Bob says, at least now British tourists can’t take all the blame for crappy mismatched fashions. Jx
Jon:
Those signs just about floored me. I’m sure that woman on the streets of New York was a British expat!
Only in the United States……..still the ‘wild west’!?
That Desert Rose is making a statement….
Jim:
Absolutely appalling about the guns.
Clearly, the mummy is the best dressed of the lot. I suggest you might start running out of the room when a cat sneezes; that’ll teach them a lesson…
wickedhamster:
Genius idea. I’m laughing thinking what the cats would do if I ran out of the room.
Oh, America! We’re so…well, insane. I can think of about a thousand other words that would have fit there but insane covers a lot. I feel like the rest of the world looks at us exactly like your two cats are looking at you. Disdain and alarm.
I do love that mummy. They weren’t messing around with those eyebrows!
Ms. Moon
Ms. Moon:
Those gun signs shocked me. Apparently they went up in late 2022. What a country!
That mummy face is brilliant. Right now the cats are looking at me with frustration (and yowls). They decided treat #3 should be served 1/2 hour after treat #2. Argh!
Dudo has that wild-eyed look again.
I don’t ever remember seeing signs like that when I lived in New York. Changing times, I guess?
Steve:
I read the signs went up in late 2022. At least it’s not an open-carry city!
Ha! Slapping his paper bag to get your attention!
Judy C:
He does. The big paper shopping bag is on the floor behind me and he stomps all over it and then waits. I try not to turn around, but sometimes I can’t resist.
Will you share more from the Metropolitan? I want to see what you saw, if that’s a sample!
Kelly:
Because of the mobs, I didn’t take many pictures, but I’ll share what I have.
How said that the default stance is “guns allowed” in the US.
Sassybear:
That’s what I thought. Americans have to be told this is a gun-free zone. It makes me wonder what other neighborhoods have going on. “I’m going into the city today but I can only go as far as Herald Square or I’ll have to leave my gun home.”
What a great shot of the cats !
Urspo:
I was pleased to have caught it.
Looks like someone had put some stickers or something on that gun-free zone sign that were then peeled off.
Kirk:
Stickers are a common sight on many street signs. I don’t know if those had any special meaning.
Dudo’s got a brand new bag?
Walt the Fourth:
Actually, it’s due for replacement. I don’t like them to get dusty.
Anything could happen inside the museum with no weapons, so I’d turn over the taser in my right pocket, pepper spray in my left, but not the little knife on the keychain.
Shirley:
Oh, they’d call in the FBI on you! Actually it would be hilarious to watch you emptying your pockets at the security table.
America will never learn its lesson with gun violence
Adam:
Our friends here regularly ask us to explain it. Unbelievable.
So sweet! I do love it
