Prostitute aggression

So last night Hawk only peed once, which we didn't think was enough, and which frustrated us. Of course this morning: gallons of pee and two large poops. He must have been saving it up all night. Last night he did make some funny noises while we slept. Maybe these were moans of pent-up, pre-bowel movement frustration.

As I turned east from 9th Avenue onto 46th Street, I saw what looked like a prostitute walking down 9th Avenue towards me. When she reached the northwest corner of that intersection, and I was already several restaurants deep on restaurant row, I heard her scream. I looked back towards her and saw a man hit her in the back of the head, and then her wig fell off. She then stumbled out into the middle of 9th Avenue traffic, and yelled that she hoped the police came. She eventually walked west on 46th Street away from 9th Avenue, leaving her wig and that man behinid. Hawk didn't notice any of this. He was probably too concerned with his BMs.

Later this morning, on my way to work, I saw two more prostitutes walking west on 45th Street. On the radio I heard that the City just installed the first of 500 new wireless security cameras, part of a $9 million project. Supposedly London has cameras on every street corner and it helps deter crime. NYC can't install enough of these cameras fast enough... especially after this morning's incident.
