SHAMROCK

I know I wasn't the only driver slowed in reaching my destination, by workers repainting the shamrock on the street in front of Kelly's Irish Pub.
Seriously? We're going to shut down a lane of traffic on 53RD STREET - at one o'clock in the afternoon - for a shamrock!
I want to point out, I have no problem with Kelly's. I've been there a few times and think it's an alright place. And, yes, I realize they are getting ready for their big St. Patrick's Day event this weekend. (including skydiving leprechauns, I'm told) I just want this touch-up job done at a time of day when 53rd Street is less congested.
And the real kicker is.. I could still see the shamrock from the last time they painted it.. plain as day! It's enough to make me want to start swingin' my shillelagh!!! (I don't actually have one, regretably)
Okay, I'm done now.
Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone.
