One Person’s Misery is Another Person's Opportunity

Ok, so last week I was enraged mad at Brooklyn.  Like, really mad.  We often get into fights like this, but it's usually over lack of parking or obnoxious drunkards outside Bar Great Harry’s.  But after Sunday night’s blizzard, there was a dirty little rumor circulating that 700 sanitation workers deliberately called out in an effort to stick-it-to-Bloomberg for recent layoffs, which created a *major* debacle in my favorite borough.  Now, I have lived through several other Brooklyn blizzards, a hail storm and a tornado, and yet, nothing compares to the utter craziness of last week.  But one of my New Year resolutions is to drastically limit my complaining (unless I offer constructive solutions to support that complaint) so I end here.


On the brighter side, at least one person benefited from our lack of street plowing and garbage pickup:  http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/40887628/ns/us_news-life/
