A woman watches from her window while a large duck balloon is prepared for the Thanksgiving Day parade in New York on Wednesday, Nov. 22, 2017. Sand-filled sanitation trucks and police sharpshooters will mix with glittering floats and giant balloons at the parade, which comes in a year of terrible mass shootings and a recent deadly truck attack in lower Manhattan.
