I honestly cannot believe the number of strange people I have seen in this city!
I had to go thru Grand Central station on my way to the Upper East Side and was so startled by this woman that I actually took my headphones out of my ears and stopped and stared. Along with half a dozen other people. Now, the thing about New Yorkers is that they don't stare at strange people - you can be wearing a sock and nothing else and it is the non-New Yorkers who will stare. These New Yorkers were staring!
Why were they staring? Walking, maybe a better description is prancing, down the corridor was this sweet-looking African-American woman of about 50 or 60 years old. Nothing to stare at. Except that every time some one passed her she would veer towards them, pointing a gnarled finger at their face, screaming "He gave his life for you! He gave his life for you!" over and over.
Thankfully she didn't see me!
