Half Asleep

A Conversation between Michael and me while both are half asleep:


Michael: I'm dreaming about a Zombie Apocalypse.

Ashley: Did you have a gun?

Michael: No, I don't believe in  guns.

Ashley: You do if it is a Zombie Apocalypse.  Go find a gun.

Michael: Okay.


Then we both fell back to sleep.

Driving on the lot

Note to Self:

When driving a club car on the Paramount Studio lot, DO NOT go full speed when going over a speed bump.  Club cars do not have shocks.

Gun Control

Conversation about gun control between Michael and me:

Michael: I don't ever want to have a gun in our house. Unless there's a zombie apocalypse. It would just be fun to shoot zombies.

NYC: The City that Just Keeps Going. Even After a Hurricane.

Tree that fell outside the apartment.

Sandbags

More sandbags

Police watching over the park

First flight cancelled

Second flight cancelled

Fallen trees being rounded up

Trash to be picked-up

Subway was free.  They closed off the normal entrances but opened the Emergency Exits to get in and out.

Streets being watched over

Deserted Streets

If you look carefully, you can see tape on the windows

Notes to Sandy

Closed Stores

More fallen trees

Electrical trucks working on getting power up and going

Small business owners know how to market

Below 25th Street, Whole Foods seemed to be one of the only stores with power...

Cinemas closed down

Empty Broadway

My signal was spotty.  Hard to send texts.

Lights getting ready to fill the streets at dark

Firefighters working hard.  All I know with this location was a guy did something in the basement with his own generators.  Some how it got the fire fighters to the apartment complex.  A guy standing buy kept saying "he was more interested in making money."  My imagination has gone crazy with that one...

Store with blown out window

Police directing traffic

Cemetery with broken tombstones

Lights in the financial district!

Freedom Towers

Pumping out water from basements and the subways

Generators supplying power

Blocking streets

News cameras showing the damage

Sand all over

More water being pumped out

Completely flooded tunnel

Water being pumped out with oil in it

If you look closely, you can see the water line of where the surge was when it flooded

A basement with water pouring out.  It was being pumped out.

Tunnel flooded

More sand

Statue of Liberty

Trees down

People fishing

No electricity on 23rd street.  Flares to guide traffic.

The dark area is 25th street.  The light is halfway up the block to 26th street where power had been restored.

We made a friend during the whole thing.
