I'm assuming you're not referring to this wonderful city I live in as I would have no source of employment if it disappeared.
But I often wake up, remember I'm in New York, and say, "Crud!"
Periodically while driving along the scenic shores of the Hudson, Harlem, and East rivers I search for the points where the mooring lines are secured...
I figure if we can slip the mooring lines it will float out to sea... ;-)
