New York, New York
I am so glad I don't live in New York City. Aside from the expense, the constant assault on your senses, there is that post traumatic stress syndrome from 9/11.
I cannot imagine how it felt to watch a plane land in the Hudson River yesterday. From my own little calm haven, I saw the news flash up and immediately freaked.
Not again...
It was not the same. All the passengers got off the plane safely and the pilot is being heralded- rightly- as a hero. Birds caused the problem- Alfred Hitchcock is smiling somewhere.
I bet you all are going to listen now when the crew goes over that emergency evacuation information we all often sleep through. I know I will.
For a moment, though, anyone looking out their window along that river must have started to shake. Having lived with PTSD for a while now, I know it can be the smallest of things that can set you off. Give you nightmares for weeks.
A jet landing in the river is not a small thing.
The new administration cannot start soon enough. Repair to all our relations with all countries needs to begin now. I want to stop feeling like I have a bulls eye on my back simply because I'm American and have an idiot for a president.
My thoughts are with all of New York City. Hang in there, it will get better. The cowboy is gone and a true statesman is taking over.
Hopefully, just in time.

I love how the media are calling it "miraculous."
What do you think they'll say when competence becomes commonplace? Like when Hillary talks to a foreign leader without getting people killed?
I love how 23/6 handled the story.
