Hi JP - Just walked through Times Square and it's quite a sight. Cops are already out in full force. They're starting to set up the barricades, welding the manholes shut and turning over trash cans. Should be fun getting back to Penn Station later on. I heard the streets will be closed from 6th to 8th Avenues and from 34th up to 59th some time after 3:00. Hard to imagine anything penetrating the fortress around Times Square tonight.

I hope you get off early today? You'll be watching from home also?

I thought you were off from work this week. I assume the fruitguy is still AWOL. Still haven't seen the Islamic guy from the gym (the one who wears the "Mecca t-shirt") since just after the start of Ramabomb. Wonder if he has heeded the warnings and followed the fruitguy out of the area.

Hi Folks,
Just catching up on the thread again. Thanks to all the information, research, and eye witness accounts. Very much appreciated.

I'm praying hard that nothing bad happens tonight, tomorrow, or anytime for that matter. Looks like the authorities have done a pretty good job. Hope everyone stays safe.

I'm heading out for a New Years gathering tonight (just a few friends) and a morning deer hunt tomorrow. Can't think of a better way to bring in the new year.

Stay safe everyone and have a Happy New Year!
