I was walking to work this morning surrounded by the cacophony of sound known as the dawn chorus, the song of a multitude of birds. As I walked along enjoying the wonders of nature, I noticed 2 people in front of a building up ahead, as I got closer I could see they were wearing bullet proof vests with the letters FBI on them. I realised it was a dawn raid, they looked a little nervous as I walked by, but I remained quiet and walked on. A sudden reality check on life in NYC.
