This is the bus to Manhattan! This is the bus to Manhattan!

[jlh]

The short version: I pretty much walked from my apartment in Manhattan to the Avocado, which is well into an outer borough. This involved walking across a bridge. It took me about 5 hours door to door, but a lot of that was spent waiting, so let's say 3 1/2 hours of actual transit. A little while after I arrived, Holly whisked us away to her house which has power an all those nice things. As I sit here typing, I don't know if I have power or not. The phones at my office are not working so I'm thinking that nothing is happening there; no one has called and when I logged into my work AIM name, no one was online around 11:30am. So, extra summer Friday for me!

Cell service seems to be working fairly well right now. I'm going to see if I can get my email on my palm. Text is your best way to reach me, likely, or calling me. Hugs to everyone.

Oh, and those of you who know where the Avocado is get a big fat expanded version of the above story! Go you!

O.O

F.. fi.. five hours? *dies* That's a LONG way to walk. When you say bridge, you mean a small one, right? One of those little things that are about 20 meters long? Or are you meaning those giant red things that you see in movies? Wow.

That's a long way to walk. *still dead*

Hey Clio, I tried to email you this but I had the wrong addy...

I saw your most recent LJ post and I just wanted to offer you a hug. I cannot *believe* that some people are giving you shit
about being a "drama queen". The blackout would have been as scary as hell, as far as I'm concerned. I can certainly understand that after Sept. 11, nothing is quite the same.

I'm sorry you're being hassled, but hope you're feeling a little
better. I'll keep an eye on your Scusa threads until you're ready to come back. I don't know if you responded to my YM as I wasn't able to log on to YM this morning.

Hugs
Liss
