A Guy, A Gun

How does anyone keep a decent pedicure around here? We walked so much today that my toenail polish wore off. Today was our first full day here in NYC and boy was it full! First was Times Square and the Naked Cowboy, then to the American Museum of Natural History for some dinosaur viewing, then a stroll in Central Park, dinner in Greenwich Village and a look around, and finally to Top of the Rock at Rockefeller Center where we got a good nighttime view of the city--whew! We might need a little rest now. We did see a guy with a gun today, and this guy was no undercover cop either. We were walking down a very well-populated street in Greenwich Village in broad daylight and I looked across the street and saw this guy with a gun in his hand. He was either tucking it or untucking it from his waistband area. I wasn't sticking around to find out! I wouldn't say he was flailing it, but he certainly was not trying to hide it. Anyway, it looked more like a protecting turf thing than a threatening/mugging thing, and I don't think he was paying a bit of attention to us, but what do I know about people brandishing weapons in NYC?
