We got our power back on at 5:40 last evening. Really, really thrilling because we were getting cold and miserable. I can only begin to  imagine how awful it still is for so many other people. Herewith some snapshots from yesterday.

Friday: Food distribution center 10th Avenue and 27th Street manned/peopled (!) by really lovely college age women. Did I need granola?  --they were out of whole meals. I had the dog with me --did I need dog food? baby food?  Luckily I did not need anything, and said I was just  wandering round taking pictures, but thank you so much for asking.

This morning is bright and crisp and cold. The High Line is shut and there is all sorts of debris to be cleared up. Note to dog: Avoid delicious smelling spoiled food.  Excuse long boring post!
