It does good to hate on a hurricane. Sounds as though even New York came out of it with no deaths. And on TV there was an indelible image of Australian firemen who happened to be visiting, ignoring all orders to go inside and hunker down and instead hilariously body-surfing in New York's flooded streets. Well, whaddayagonnado? They're Australians!Margaret Benbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17981723531235779155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4887335526723967972.post-55523917923144888592011-08-29T07:14:36.576-07:002011-08-29T07:14:36.576-07:00"Now is breath and hope and life."
