heidiWhen you look out the window and minutes go by without a car passing, on one of the more perpetually busy city streets in the US?
When they say schools may be closed for two weeks and they may cancel winter break because of it and private school for the rest of the year sounds reasonable as they're opening tomorrow, or perhaps teaming up with five or six other families and getting two tutors for a few hours each day, so they don't forget everything, would work just as well?
When they can't promise that the cellphones will keep working as the generators may run out of juice?
When the port is still closed because there is no electricity and the boats are just sitting offshore, where I can see them, and can't come in to unload?
When on the surface so many things are normal, and so many things are upside down, and underneath, everything, even the seemingly normal things, have been beset by hobgoblins?
