Most likely people driven mad by the relentless tourist helicopters.
Actually I’d say they are made by a bike folks that are upset that they have to walk in the park, rather then pretending they are Lance Arbstrong on their $500 bike knocking over pepole just trying to enjoy walking in the park. Maybe one they might actuallus the bike lanes not dart in and out of traffic. Ah I can dream can’t I.
And before you say it, no I DON’T have a care and have walked & lived on the UWS for almost all of my 48 years. Traffic is no better, no worse.
Sorry, that should read:

Hahahaha, thats awesome! I stopped by to see it but obviously its already been ruined.
someone was acting out the Winnie the Pooh story “… In Which Pooh and Piglet Go Hunting and Nearly Catch a Woozle”… by chasing their own tracks around in circles in the snow.

When he returned, the dog’s leash was wound around the tree and had therefore “finished” his exercise routine was taken home … leaving circles of tracks in the snow.
