I saw my first car accident yesterday. Luckily, it was pretty minor. Some guy in a SUV rear-ended a cab that for some reason stopped at a green light. He didn’t hit him very hard, but it was hard enough to crack his bumper. Cab man didn’t look very happy and bearded man in the SUV looked, well, kinda indifferent.

Edit:  I think I left out some words =P  The accident happened on the other side of the street as I was walking. I’ve seen the aftermath of accidents before, but I’ve never had one happen in front of me.

As I was leaving work yesterday, I heard a bunch of fire trucks and sirens and all that stuff, which is pretty typical.  But then when I got outside, I noticed that everyone was stopped on the sidewalks and pointing up.  That isn’t typical.  I tried to follow other people’s pointed fingers to what exactly everyone was looking at.  First thing I thought was that it was someone on a roof about to jump, so I looked around at the roofs.  Nothing (luckily).  I looked around at the sides of all the buildings and then there he was, Mr Orange Pants, climbing up the side of the New York Times building.

At that point, he was about 30 stories up and still climbing.  I watched him for about a minute until I decided that I didn’t wanna see him fall if he did, so I stopped watching and continued on

The funniest part is that he was the second guy to climb it that day!  I was totally unaware of the first man until later when I read some news stories.
