Sunny Day After Irene


It is Irene + 30ish hours.  The city is lovely this morning.  The winds pushed the clouds away and all is pretty in the city.  Now, of course, this isn't to diminish the problems elsewhere, but Manhattan fared pretty well.
.
The worst for Eddie and I was that we were house bound for the 2 days.  Since mass transit closed Saturday at noon - most everything in the city was closed - no workers.  We went for a beer at Dalton's yesterday afternoon - the only place open, and it was PACKED.  A bartender was emergency manager, a waitress was emergency bartender and a bus boy was emergency 4 waiters.  When I went to the bathroom, I saw into the kitchen window and 2 poor guys where screaming around the kitchen -cooking with both hands.

We just went home and made dinner and watched Princess and The Pea in between football.  Glad it is over for a while.
