Mellow Yellow Monday



Must admit that this is definitely
a not-so-mellow yellow. These giant 
rats are usually parked by
union workers in front of buildings
where non-union labor is hired.
Maybe at this building, on 42nd Street, 
they've hired non-union
workers to clean out asbestos.

[You can see more Mellow (or not)
Yellow here.]

  1. I saw this guy last time I was in NYC, but no 'asbestos' sign. I was inn a car and couldn't get close to him, but perhaps he 'rats' on other ecological issues in addition to asbestos!

  2. Yours sounds like a very logical conclusion, Alexa. This rat left his mellow at home in his presumably asbestos-free union-maintained digs.

  3. We get warnings about wildlife here in California like this. I guess it must be Arizona that has warnings of its own. It stands to reason NYC would have versions appropriate to itself, like here.
