Ryan and I have been musing (paralyzed by fear) over how people prop up their air conditioners in the city. It seems the general consensus to just shove the a/c unit in, hold on to it with one arm until they slam down the window and the trap the heavy rascal in there leaving it essentially hanging by a thin metal frame around a pane or two of glass. I find this nearly terrifying at times.
I'm hoping to snap more photos of the sights I have seen (especially while on the train) of a/c units propped up with books & boxes and anything else I see. To start, here's a beautiful example that hits very close to home. This would be my next-door neighbor's window which faces the sidewalk between the buildings. I cannot tell what the can is on the left but the right can is carrots...and generic carrots at that.
I guess one wouldn't spare the Del Montes for such a cause.

holy crap! this has been my fear for the past 7 yrs... a 100 lb. death anvil falling on my head while i walk unassuming down the sidewalk. people are idiots - not securing the a/c. i'm shocked more people aren't killed each summer by falling units. it's like the anvil in a cartoon.
