We'll all have to get mass therapy. Its not even really raining . But I hear rumbling noises which I keep thinking is a tornado but are gusts hitting my air conditioner. So I am experiencing tornado paranoia. It's yellow outside. Having watched the weather channel way too much. The pidgins and squirrels seem to be still in their shelter. They are probably all down there singing Lili Marlene and passing around a flask. They may know something I don't know. But I'm going outside anyway. Try to shoot the wind which is what I always do. It looks like putting the trains back together again is going to be way harder than talking them off line. Which was not so easy either. They say there are trains parked all over the place but they are labeled. They have to figure out how to get them back to where they were supposed to be. But check the track first. It may take more then one day. May take more than two. So the prediction for Monday is "maybe". It will be like a snow day which is really like a slush day. What if they had a Hurricane and nobody came? What we do afterward? I think I was the only one in this apartment building. They all moved up into Westchester County and stayed in their parents house. I can play my radio as loud as I want. Around 4 AM we had tourists in from the Ukraine and other outer parts walking around Times Square just a few hours before the hurricane hit. I looked at them with an internet Cam and their umbrellas were doing ok. They seemed kind of bored. Bubba gumps shrimp was closed. As were the buses and subways. How did they get there? How will they go back to their hotels? News at 11. Though the transmitter is under water. The cabs of course are furiously ripping everybody off like they always do only more so. Which is why I never take them. A dollar or more a block. That's what they are talking about on the radio now. Which is coming to me from NJ instead of NY becuae the transmitter is under water. Which I assume was not the Empire State Building which was not in a A fema zone. Mario Cuomo is driving his car through what looks like rivers taking pictures through the wet windshield of his car. -- Mark R. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/
