It's the end of the world as we know it.

Just in case anyone didn't already think I lived in a war zone...

"Meanwhile in Astoria, on Broadway and 48th Street, a manhole explosion and fire in the area left several blocks of residents and businesses in the dark."

Yes, I live on 48th Street at Broadway. Thankfully, we didn't lose power. But I am sure glad I've started walking on the opposite side of the street as the manholes WITH LIVE POWER LINES COMING IN AND OUT OF THEM.

James called the landlord again yesterday asking about breaking the lease. Still no word. If one more manhole explodes, I'm packing up and moving to the Amish country.

DIG WE MUST

August 3, 2006 -- WITH all its other problems, at least Con Ed synchronized the four clocks atop its East 14th Street headquarters. Three clock faces on the tower were telling the right time, but for more than a week, until last weekend, the clock facing north had both hands drooping at 6:30. "It says something about Con Ed that they can't keep their clock running," said one Gramercy Park resident who's been monitoring the situation.
