In continuation of Peter's transit strike coverage, here's mine from Astoria to Manhattan across the 59th street bridge.

Cops were stopping cars with less than 4 people, so this morning about 8 people stopped to ask if we needed a ride. It was interesting to have starngers kerb-crawl and ask me to get into thier car. I felt like I was in an HBO special.

The spires of Manhattan glitter...through the rusty bridge.

Those lovely people at the Red Cross were providing hot coffee and chocolate for all the people who braved the bridge.

awesome photos... wow, i love that third one especially. funny- i passed alot of "urban express" foot messengers on the when i was doing my commute too... small world.

also: took the train to work today for the first time in 3 days, and wow, am i ever aware of what i daily take for granted...!

I only had to do the trek three times. And today, my dogs are barking.

Not to denegrate the messenger guy ('cos I'm sure he had been walking for days), but he was the slowest guy on the bridge.

Helen: I love the 3rd photo
