trick or treat?

a friend

 who loves Halloween

 as much as I do

 sent me

 that card

 its so cute

 I had to share it 

my plans for Halloween 

did not include 

being in NYC

 I was heading

 to Cincinnati 

to visit 

my friend Mary 

her husband

 and 

their little black cat 

Enzo

 Sandy 

interfered 

caused 

LaGuardia Airport

 to be

 flooded

Sandy 

had a lot of tricks 

in store for this coast

many many many

people

in both

NJ and CT

are 

without power

are 

pumping out 

flooded 

homes 

businesses

these are not nice tricks

along Riverside Drive

just at 80th St

this tree lost its head

 this backhoe was there to help clean it up

since

Sunday at 7 p.m.

the subways have been shut down 

due to flooding in the tunnels

they remain shut

at 

midday

 Tuesday

 the buses were back 

with limited service

 and

 no fare is being charged

 by this morning 

(Wednesday)

 all 

bus service

 in the city 

was 

restored

as of this writing 

(Tuesday afternoon)

I am not sure

 if my office

 closed since Monday

 will be open on Wednesday

as for
treats
well
getting out yesterday
 for a short walk
I discovered
 the markets
 in the area
 were open
 with limited supplies
 but
 open none the less

I hope
 wherever
you are
things are improving!
