And we don't, we don't even know it,
That whatever our drama, whatever our crisis,
All around us the city protects us.

Snow changing to rain in New York City is as inevitable as Republican Congressmen being indicted.

These photos remind me of the pictures taken in Paris around 1900, raining, lots of umbrellas... Shoot, I can't remember the artist! Help me out here.
