i don't want trouble really i just want a little freedom. a potbellied tattoed man with a boston terrier approached by rock-a-feller tower and charlie went to greet them. i asked if the dog was friendly, sensing the dog was. not to other dogs he says—there's a leash law. as though there was a direct correlation. i said oh, oh, thank you for informing me. it rankles me but i start to shake it off and then they come on the quad where charlie runs around happily. and we pass around them a couple times, and then as it happens we're crossing the street at the same time and chalie goes up to the dog and i say it seems your dog is friendly, and that pisses him off. 

this girl is a little timid yet she was curious and charmed by charlie, as most people would be.
