Sandy Aftermath in NYC

Every street is different in NYC right now after Sandy made landfall last night. While my block was spared, just down the street an apartment's parking garage was flooded, trees down, the power out, and the entire road slicked with fuel and oil. The rain has started up again and the police are patrolling the closed down FDR telling everyone to get inside as high tide is approaching again.

Seeing all of the devastation on TV and Twitter brought one thing to mind. It was something our Ranger/Guide in Africa told us while on a drive. He said life can be summed up in three words: Patience. Luck. And Mother Nature. The words sounded cool while in the bush, but they are that much more powerful to me today. That's all it is, folks! Patience. Luck. And Mother Nature.

Yeah... that's safe for kids...
