    I like that picture. Says a lot about NYC people. Most are so very kind, they just have the don't fuck with me and I won't fuck with you attitude. I respect that so much.

    that picture is of a residence in hoboken, nj. how do you feel about jersey? ;)

    As of last night, power, phone and cable are back on. Lost some trees--one hit the house, but did no damage to the house. Plenty of clean up still ahead, but everyone is safe. Sandy was a bitch.

    ya ... it seems kinda absurd considering there is so much work involved in the clean up ... and line ups at gas stations are causing a lot of grief ...

    My mom called and said our house might not get power until next Friday :o I hope that is worst case scenario and that power comes back on quickly!

    I feel so lucky my school didn't get hit so bad...my heart goes out to everyone back home and in the city, LI, Jersey, etc that were affected. Crazy.

    I hope the people that have lost everything will be blocking the marathon route while waiting in lines for food, clothing, shelter & to get their lives back.

    Marathon should happen, just not this weekend. It's too late to cancel now, they should have announced postponing it Wednesday morning after the storm when they realized the extent of the devastation and before a lot of the athletes arrived. We're not ready for the influx of visitors right now. The marathon runners are going to face a lot of animosity even though they had nothing to do with Sandy. Yes, it's important to keep on going, but one step at a time. You don't go from most crippling natural disaster this region has seen since I don't know when, to hosting a major sporting event in less than a week. I don't understand the overwhelming desire to show some semblance of normalcy. There is nothing normal about this situation right now. I was all for carrying on after 9/11 as a big giant fuck you to the people who did that to us. This one's different, we're proving nothing other than that we're too proud to say we can't do it. Yes, it's important economically but we'll recover from not having the marathon as scheduled just this once.

    That's just silly, they should have postponed that too. How are people going to get to the stadium? First they are going to wait 2 hours to fill up for gas and then sit in traffic for another 2 hours to get there? And that's if they still have their car.

    Then by the time people get there they are going to bitch about the lack of beer flowing because they couldn't get all the people working the concession stands to come to work.

    It totally makes sense and I agree with it, but I think earlier in the week, people were in denial about how long it would take to get back to some state of normal, which is why it took this long to cancel.
