Okay, totally different post for now, A Valentine to NEW YORKERS - real, pragmatic, warm-hearted-but-gruff lifers. Like these three, on one block of our dogwalk today in the ice and snow.

First, this guy slid and fell on 14th Street right in a lane of traffic. And a man and a woman rush forward to pick him up and stand there with him while everything is ground to a halt, just for a NY minute. And they walk him to the curb, where he (unhurt) says "thank God for the people."

This almost got me teary-eyed, and then a half-block later this blind guy with a cane is standing at the corner. He seems totally baffled where the curb is under all the grey snow and he's kind of paused there and then this messenger rushes out to help him. And I lost it for a minute.

Thank God for the people. New Yorkers rule.
