Alas for the Old Man of the Mountain

J., a true daughter of the Granite State (even if she doesn't vote that way), is bummed about this, which is indeed no good.

New York City!

We were drinking some of the best espresso I've ever had, when J. pointed to the sidewalk and said, "Is that blood?"

I recommend the espresso at "Panino Giusto" on Hudson and Perry in NYC, and presumably there isn't a pit bull attack there *every* day.
(Seems earlier in the day the dog's owner had suffered arm damage restraining his animal from mauling another customer's dog.)

( The rest of our day in the Big Apple was less gruesome. )
