Refugees

I thought that the whole Super Storm Sandy thing might be gone like the bad weather that was around here. But I work at a hotel and people from all over the New York Metropolitan area are desperately looking for rooms. So many people still don't have electricity. Even people from as far south as New Jersey and far east as Connecticut need places to stay. They are like refugees who are displaced. I also heard that the New York City Marathon is going on as scheduled. I've run it the last 2 years but I didn't qualify for it this year. With everything happening I feel better off not be there this weekend. The Northeast United States is still a mess.
