Traveled via train to Point Pleasant Beach yesterday, not so enjoyable as last Friday's trip but better than staying home. NJ Transit schedules an extra train from Newark on 9/2, that train broke down & the passengers got on my train along with the holiday/commuter crowd & I stood in the vestibule all the way to Long Branch where I had to make the "Long Branch Dash" across the platform to the Bay Head Local for a seat, ending up next to a dull couple who discussed hormonal research all the way to Spring Lake, a pretty town nearly as dull they were. If they stayed on the train two more stops they could've gone to Martell's Tiki Bar, a fav of guidos & guidettes that's usually thick with hormonal excretions. More about Point Pleasant Beach & boardwalk later...
At this point every possible take on Katrina/NOLA/Biloxi is being spit out across blogdom. I've tried to work through a what if scenario that places President Bush - or any president - on Air Force One rushing back to D.C. about 9 pm last Sunday, when I posted a GEOS satellite photo on this blog so alarming (along with ocean buoy & coastal station feeds) that I was unable to write anything about it. He then spends most of Monday in the crisis room kicking ass & being, well, competently presidential.
