Subject: RE: BS: Where Were You/Lights Went Out?
Well Guess who was in the air about to land at LaGurdia. When we landed( THank you god! ) I found : Lots of people without water. All sold before we got there. Cars everywhere out of gas. (No pumps) . I saw two crashes because of no signal lights. THousands of people unable to move ( just around me).After 4 hours I found someone with a Ct licence plate and got up to Stanford and then to Trumble . 4 Hours at the curbside at the air port and 4 hours getting home and I was very very lucky. Lots of those panpered Americans sleeping in the streets. No one dead yet so I guess we are having fun . Lots to learn all around. I would love every American and Brit to have a few days in a third world envirnment to get a feel for what we all have but hopefully we can do it without being in a life threatening situation. !! A little slack gang !    All the best to all here of good will ! Guy
