Chat - Saturday, January 21, 2012, It's a Snowy Saturday in the East

Yes we finally have snow ..... haven't taken a close look out the door but a nice covering so far .... they are saying 3-5" by end of day- we'll see

We have a hockey game to go to tonight so better be done by then

Hope this finds everyone feeling better and ready to enjoy their weekend!

Guess we'll be staying close to home although ES seems to have a fuse blown on his car so will run over and have that looked at.... hard to drive at night when you can't see how fast you are going

I guess no cubbies for Jewel yet? She needs to get with it

Sad moment Thurs night - ES was on the subway headed to his transfer to train when someone jumped/pushed in front of the one he was on (in 2nd car) he said they were just pulling into a station when the brakes were hit hard .... a brief announcement made and they were able to get off the train (2 cars had platformed) and get a connecting train - he said cops and EMS were there by time he could get off but the power hadn't been shut down so they couldn't get on the tracks ....... brief article in papers but no ID or confirmation as to what happened - sad, sad, sad .......

Good morning, Cruzers!

For all those feeling a little under the weather:

and a little progress by photo - Tower 1




Feb 2011 - Aug 2011 - Nov 2011 - Jan 2012


Note: Aug 11 - 78 floors up / glass up to 53rd floor

They are in high 80's floor now ?? I'll have to ask ES

all photos clickables - they are from his lunch time walks with his cell

ps that's Tower 7 behind Tower 1 in the first 3 photos - you can see the progress of Tower 1 as it overtakes Tower 7 in height! Tower 7 was also done by Gary's office - SOM!

Joanie, Happy Birthday!



Hope all your wishes come true!

Deb, great shots of Tower 1! Thanks.

I thought ES was going on site yesterday - he was dressed in jeans and workboots but turns out some of his team got to visit another construction site uptown around 46th - not his project but interesting nonetheless!

His office is only a couple blocks from Tower 1 so at lunch when he goes out to walk a bit, he sometimes goes by the site and has a look - posting photos on FB for our friends to be updated on the visual progress! It's a beautiful TALL building indeed.

He also goes to Battery Park a lot and looks for Zelda LOL - she was sighted recently so we know she was not someone's thanksgiving dinner - she'd be tough anyway - she's pretty old!

meet zelda from Battery Park




she even has her own Wikipedia page

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zelda_%28turkey%29

Tower 1 is indeed a beautiful building.

Somehow I knew Zelda was not the main course for Thanksgiving.

ES tries to keep an eye on her around that time of year - just in case

Good Morning Everyone! Snowing here...



There is a word puzzle in our newspaper called Jumble...if it is in yours and you don't want to know the answer DO NOT READ further cause I'm about to reveal the answer...

I do the puzzle each but today's answer made me laugh.... the answer was Eggcited!

Linda, I am going to have to look up that puzzle!

edit: found it - great fun!

I enjoy it...a must do everyday!

...poor Zelda, all alone...wish I could send several of "our" flock to keep her company...
