This comes from NY1.com::



"Every few days, NY1 filters through nominations sent from our viewers to decide who will be the New Yorker of the Week. Well, given the events of the past few days, selecting this week's winner was quite easy.

In classic New York style, they were there. When suddenly the power failed, when it mattered most, they were there. Should we expect anything less from you, the residents of our city?

You were there when we emerged from the darkness of a subway tunnel, from trapped underground to a round of applause.

You manned intersections, risking your own safety for others. You gave strangers water from the back of your truck, and ice cream from the freezer in your store.

You pointed tourists in the right direction for a change. In classic New York style, you energized an outage.

This week, we salute all of you. You did not panic when crossing the bridges. There were crowds yes, but no chaos. After all, we survived more difficult times than this.

And when night fell, unlike years past, hundreds of fires did not burn, and thousands were not arrested. You worked through the night to protect us, and in classic New York style, you turned a dark night into a memorable evening.

You are New York, and you've proved it once again. That's why you are the New Yorkers of the Week."


This makes me even more proud to be a New Yorker.

Here's what's goin on:::

ARM>>I dislocated my right elbow following a fall in the Whitehall ferry terminal last tuesday.It's in a cast and sling and will be that way for a little while more.It's not easy typin with 1 arm,so whoever chat's with me,bear with me for a while.

POWER>>At 4:11 pm yesterday(8/15/03) a massive power outage occourred in the northeastern section of this country and southeastern Canada.No one really knows the cause.It was NOT TERRORISM.At 3:33am,my part of Staten Island regained power,and as of this writing,100% of New York City is back online.Only 1 death was reported and that was due to a fire.4 serious injuries have been reported.That's damn good.Everyone in the city pretty much stayed calm.People helped each other out and stuck it through.It's really a testament to how great this city is.

That's all fer now.

wow, you are A Little Sound of Sanity, you are just
full of energy!
