The village I was in in Africa had no running water and no electricy... ever! So the "hardships" for many in NYC right now are amusing. <br /><br />True, for those that really suffered true loses this time is very difficult. But walking to Union Square and waiting in line for some water is hardly true suffering! Wondering if you are going to die from Malaria or Cholera or AIDS or typhoid or dengue fever... that's a different level of life. <br /><br /><br /><br />BTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-14324952615841811332012-11-01T20:11:18.120-04:002012-11-01T20:11:18.120-04:00Awesome Sean.

But I stayed home on Ave A. Reading books requires almost no light and no electricity. What a perfect time to catch up on all that reading. <br /><br />As I live in an 1890s tenement, I've been living as close to that time as possible. It's been awesome. Dry food and water are plentiful as are friendly familiar neighbors on the street. Helping others in the building feels good. And gives me a purpose. The gas stove works so hot soup has been a simple luxury I've really enjoyed. <br /><br />The whole experience has been like a living tenement reality show. It's probably time to quit, but it's been really fun so far. <br /><br />I feel bad for those that have suffered during this storm. But this tech junkie has enjoyed a simple reprieve from the 20th and 21st century and felt uplifted by the experience. <br /><br /><br />Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15395915435209482109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-73458006320563538962012-11-01T18:55:53.378-04:002012-11-01T18:55:53.378-04:00I want to know how everybody is getting these phon...I want to know how everybody is getting these phone calls? My so-called "landline" is doesn't work now that I get digital service by Timewarner. And my cell gets no reception downtown, (thank you to the aforementioned AT &T).

I kind of figured that out myself. I prepared for a disaster as the city has repeatedly told us to do. I have my emergency radio and lights and some food. I am concerned about the seniors in the area, even if they can get out there is nothing open for them to get supplies.nygrumpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-33776189677454243462012-11-01T17:17:37.552-04:002012-11-01T17:17:37.552-04:00Well, on the one hand, yeah, we aren't dead, l...Well, on the one hand, yeah, we aren't dead, like many of the Haitians Sandy visited before moving north.
