It doesn't sound that surprising in midtown during morning rush hour -- everything is gridlock, and no one would move for an ambulance.
Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I'm not sure how well you COULD move for an ambulance.
I'm always anxious when I hear one when I'm driving in the city... because of the canyons I can't really tell what direction its coming from until I see it. My sister and I have joked for years that if we felt The Big One coming we'd get on the ferry to Jersey.

Somewhat relatedly, a coworker who has me pegged as a nerd asked me the other day what TV show used some Echo and the Bunnymen cover (cover by them, not of them, but now I forget what song) as its theme or something, and I totally let her down by having no idea.
Is she thinking of Charmed, which uses a cover of The Smiths?

Didn't some show use E&tB's cover of "People are Strange"?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Remember ages ago (this morning?) when we all laughed at the squirrel who poked his head into a photo a couple was taking of themselves?

Of course, that cover was originally done for THE LOST BOYS soundtrack.

Hey, I was running errands this afternoon and on the return bus there was a 20-ish young woman who was sucking on, I swear, a pacifier. Is this a thing? Or was it candy that looks like a pacifier?
And, you know, wtf?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
The scene-stealing squirrel is adorable, but I really, really didn't need to see him photoshopped into a Hitler rally and Tiananmen Square.
