1954: I am in kindergarten and one day, for some reason which to this day I know not why, a classmate named Sandy starts kicking me...
Oct. 29, 2012: Sandy is slapping up NYC and Philadelphia. 100 MPH winds are reported in some places.
It is not the rich upper crust Wall Street people I think about. It is the average person on all the other streets; the immigrant family running the deli in the Bronx, the mom in the tenement trying to raise her young children without dad being there.... The working poor just getting by with both parents working two or even three jobs, the homeless people; the kids living in the rundown projects. Catastrophic events seems to hit the helpless, the weak, the poor much more then the latte sipping Wall Street Yuppies and $ 500,000 penthouse upper-crusters.... May God have mercy on them all... Praying for NYC - Philly-Newark and all the other places Sandy is aiming at....
