RAH RAH RAH !

Driving into Manhattan this evening I could just feel it. There are Friday nights like this through the warmer months.

There was an ugly accident on I-78. By the time I crawled by driving, there were no victims, just a car at rest against a steel light standard with its four doors missing. The doors were askew along the road. The local evening news had word of a couple more.

Somebody got stabbed at a subway station in The Bronx during the evening's rush hour the radio voice said. Traffic on the east side was displaced because of an underground manhole explosion that injured two Consolidated Edison electrical technicians. A noticeable police presence along Manhattan streets was the order of the evening.

Even the dogs could feel "it". A pit bull in a nearby Long Island community, attacked a woman and then attacked a police officer who shot at it not only once but shot at it seven times only to hit the animal four times. The dog is still alive and in stable condition at a local vet.

Yep, the newspapers will print in red ink, the news radio station will din and the television images will flare colorfully this weekend. I can hear the sirens outside, I can smell it in the air.

It's Spring in New York City. I can feel it.
