Superstorm Sandy

[faraway]

I did see the runners for the NYC marathon arriving at the JFK airport yesterday morning. I did read at the same time about many people that live in homes without power seeking hotel rooms for a warm bed and a hot meal. I felt it a strange situation and had serious concerns about the selfishness of the runners coming to NYC under that circumstances.
It is wise to cancel the marathon. Those selfish people are complaining now about the late cancellation not understanding that the trip to NYC was their very own fault.
