Due to the intense rainstorm at dawn, nearly all subways were shut down this morning. Other than the transit strike a year-and-a-half ago, i've never seen anything like it. At least with the transit strike, there was warning. Today, millions of us got up and had no way at all of getting to work. For me, that wasn't an issue, as getting to work in a timely fashion is never really on my top list of things to do. But for all the responsible, working-people-types, it was major chaos. Imagine if a whole suburb woke up one morning to find every single car in town was gone. Very similar. People literally wandering around the streets, dazed, briefcase in hand, unable to grasp how to react to a change in their routine. It was as if day had dawned and suddenly the sky was red, and trees had turned into large octupuses. It would evoke a similar reaction. My reaction? To prop up my feet, play some sharkrunners, and enjoy the morning. Then stumble into work to write this short blog.
