You mean down to the WTC?

You know, it never occurred to me. It seems somehow terrifying.

My friends in the city are really freaked out, though. Up in the 70's and 80's on the west side, they can smell smoke and feel themselves breathing dust when the wind is blowing north. I have a friend who lives in Nyack, NY, across the George Washington Bridge from NYC, and she and her daughter are both very allergic to air-borne things (they get bronchitis and wheeze) and they are feeling it in the air and feeling sickly.

I have an acquaintance, a good amateur photographer, who about a year ago took a photo of the World Trade Center towers from a boat on the Hudson, and there was a beautiful, low stratum of luminous cloud from which emerged the two towers. They liked the picture so much they had it blown up, framed, and hung on the wall. Near the TV.... a strange experience, it was, looking from the screen to the photograph.
