I mean, the entire world is a crazy, so go figure.

This was the photograph which I took at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade in 2023, in the space between 44th Street and 45th Street (I think). The camera lens was pointed southwest.

At first, I thought that the people in this photograph were all wearing Halloween costumes. I then began to wonder why they were wearing Halloween costumes. It was a little bit late in the season to be wearing a Halloween costume.

Then, when these people sat on the concrete, and poured artificial blood onto the concrete, I realized that these people were protesting against something. Because this was the Thanksgiving Day parade, I assumed that they were protesting against all of the paid, professional turkey farmers (the farmers who work for Butterball, Hillshire Farm, Boar's Head, Oscar Meyer, etcetera). I then looked at the banner that they were carrying, read the inscription on the banner, and was amazed that the inscription did not read "People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals."
