We Take a NY Taxi!

We Take a NY Taxi!

Reflecting on our current disaster has me remembering September of 2001. I realized recently that we were actually in New York a few weeks after 9/11 to see a friend's show, and I took a few pictures then. I remember refusing to take disaster-related pictures then, as it seemed too invasive--rude, almost. But I did take a few.

Here we were, riding in a NY cab for the first time. Again, cleverly, I am not actually in the picture...

Well, that's a relief!

Whoo! Just on CNN: As the last buses carrying the last refugees pulled away from the Superdome, a large truck carrying porta-potties finally arrived.

Irony is fun. Go FEMA!

Oh yeah, and...

I love live TV and living on the East Coast...may they get rid of the several second delay!

Heard about this at work today, didn't see it live. So awesome! Go Kanye! Some honesty on television...
