Back at ya, Sandy!

Photos taken this morning.

Woo hoo!  GA's so excited...

This post is for the gal on Long Island who keeps asking me how my renovations are going... take a look!

As you folks know, Hurricane Sandy whacked us pretty good; we got a foot of water on my first floor and the basement was submerged. My furnace, water heater downstairs and a lot of personal property including rugs and furniture gone. So, in mid-February our first floor was gutted.... and here we are one month later.  (I still haven't had use of my kitchen, but finally see the light.)

GA can't tell you how excited I am for the week ahead. Yup, it's going to be a great week.

Prayers for all those still recovering from the hurricane, and if you haven't seen the light yet- you will.

Thanks to the Mayor and the City Council majority: Ravi Bhalla, Dave Mello, Jen Giattino and Peter Cuningham for their superb job helping stricken residents with hurricane recovery efforts.  

NO THANKS to the Council minority: Tim Occhipinti, Beth Mason, Michael Russo and Theresa Castellano for SUING the City after Hurricane Sandy, HAMPERING our disaster recovery efforts by OPPOSING FEMA grant money, voting NO to new HOP buses to replace those destroyed by the hurricane, voting NO to repair  hurricane damage to Pier C Park thus CLOSING Pier C park, voting NO to repaving Washington Street,  SUING Councilman Jim Doyle to keep him from serving on the City Council and WASTING disaster- stricken residents' money...  the list of ways these 4 are hurting us in the aftermath of the disaster goes on.  Their objective: that we BLAME Mayor Zimmer.

Get it?  You and I are collateral damage to their SELFISH political gamesmanship.

That's the truth.
