    Shoveling snow is a tremendous workout. Just remember to use your knees to lift the snow, not your lower back. Just as if you're moving boxes.

    They were actually pretty happy with it. We pay more than a lot of people around here.

    It'll be the same in New Jersey by Wednesday. Then rain and 40+ Friday and Saturday to wash it all away ... and create some floods.

    So my flight from Dulles was canceled. I was in line at United customer service talking with a couple other people and the three of us (all complete strangers) decided to split a rental car and drive up since there was no other way to get up here today. While getting my checked bag I ran into someone else who was stranded and he came along as well. We paid $40 a person and I drove most of the way since I've done that drive numerous times before. The highways were really good for the most part and we made decent time.

    Four strangers trusted each other completely and it ended up working out. I guess there are still some good people in the world. I give the most credit to this guy from the Congo who travels for business but had never been to NYC before. That's quite the story for someone's first time getting to the city.

    Any of those guys happen to be a shower curtain ring salesman?

    Now this is a guy who was screwed by the storm.

    There was a stretch limo -- one of those gaudy white party mobiles you see in Manhattan filled with drunk kids -- stranded in the snow in my neighborhood. I was walking to the subway at 7:30 this morning and I saw this--and whipped out my blackberry camera: The front panel and grill of the limo, buried face up in a small snow bank: A FULL BLOCK AWAY in another intersection. I have no idea how it got there. I just pity the poor guy who owned that car.

    Well, I still have the jacket. So he's limited in all the job interviews he was gonna get from the find. I'm just glad it wasn't one of my better suits.

    Horrible story, the guy looked so good in the suit pants the other homeless guys in the abandoned building thought he was a cop and beat him up. Ran the pants up a flagpole in the Bronx.
