NYC Is Falling Apart

New York City is falling apart ....

Buildings are collapsing, the financial market is in a tailspin and the dollar is not the dollar it used to be. Seems like the good time is over and the end is near. With no time to waste, I am going to get myself a Wii and a Nikon D3 with the Nikkor 28~70. Or not.

But we still have St. Patrick's Day, a day the Irish and the rest of us celebrate and get drunk.

Happy St. Patrick's Day.

UPDATE
I was pretty happy with St. Patrick's Day until I needed to cross 5th Avenue. I waited in line for some 15 minutes just to cross the Avenue. No New Yorkers like to wait. The parade was just testing my patience.

  2. What the heck! [the use of the exclamation mark here is much warranted] Bear Stearns was one of the largest global investment banks and securities trading and brokerage firms in the whole wide world, with 14,000 employees and much coveted assets like its midtown Manhattan office tower. Its shares were trading at US$30 a share Friday, 14 March 2008. On 16 March 2008, it's only worth US$2 per share.

    The sky is falling. Go and buy your desired stuff quickly. Do you anticipate a meltdown of the US economy? I guess not, with every manufacturer and exporter in the world wanting to sell their goods to America at cutthroat prices.

  3. A crane on the East Side of Manhattan collapsed and fell on 15 March 2008, cutting away part of adjacent buildings and killing four construction workers. Firefighters searched the rubble for signs of three missing people. It's a terrible industrial accident.

  4. wp2007: you never really read my post.

    ss: it's been a terrible week. those bankers have been acted very recklessly. And now look what happened. the CEO and big shots still pocketed millions in year end bonus but at what cost? Spitzer was right to bust the Wall Street types.

Civil War (2024)

This is basically a Dorothy yellow brick road kind of story.  Also, something to do with the new replaces the old, the circle of life thing....
