Plane crash, longer days
Jan. 15th, 2009 04:36 pmA commercial passenger jet in New York has apparently struck a flock of geese and crashed into the Hudson River. I can't believe the rotten luck that this has happened on such a brutally cold day. It sounds like there are a lot of injuries but the radio and tv (both of which are chattering in my ears) haven't said anything about deaths. It will be interesting to hear how this pans out. My local CBS station is running the feed from a New York station. They just now said everyone was safely removed from the aircraft. Phew! Get these people some cocoa, stat!
The days are actually getting noticeably longer. I came home with the beginnings of a gorgeous sunset as a backdrop. The tall buildings of the hospital area were bathed in pink light. Anyone planning any big holiday parties for Feb 2?
Usually when you walk on snow, the friction of your step melts it a little and crushes it flat making a bootprint. Today I was following a keeper, watching his boots, and they made holes in the snow, but the crushed snow didn't melt flat. Instead the empty tracks would fill from the sides with fine dry powder. I've never observed that before.
Anyway, be safe out there everyone, especially you lunatics in the midwest.

Something that's been happening lately on Facebook: pictures from the past are surfacing. This is my roommate Jeanine and I in our Brighton apartment (about 5 years before the icon picture above).
