After The Storm

Most of us can breathe a sigh of relief. Irene wasn't as bad as we expected. However, it wasn't all good either. There were still instances in which people lost their lives. Power outages, fallen trees and flooding will have ill affects thousands as well. I am glad that things weren't as bad as expected. But, I must warn all of you that the clean up and rotation back to normal life may take a while. All of us must be patient with public officials, city workers, public transportation systems and the airlines as they try to restore these major services and bring them back on line. The After The Storm period sometimes is worse then the actual storm. But, I ask all of you to be patient. There will be disruptions, but we will be back to our 9-5s and back to talks about the election, jobs and President Obama in no time.

We are now After The Storm, but the season has just begun. Let's just brace ourselves because this may be the first, but not the last I'm sure. Hunker down and pray; this may be a rough one.
