I give, where is it. It might be a big city because of subways. Got to drive a couple thousand miles to find a subway around here.

I’m glad that we finally figured out their weak points, and can now blow them up.

(My Favorite Liberal) Mrs. Gridlock works in this building, at 41 and Lex. She said she saw building debris moving past her window, and she’s on the 19th floor. She got the heck out and said there was debris in the street.

She’s over on 2nd Avenue now, and says nobody has a clue what is going on. I’m reading the FR thread to her, and she’s telling people over on 2nd what is going on. So get it right, people!

BTW, it was very high humidity in NYC today. I’m sure it is a 100%+ demand day for ConED.
