Ok...enough with the helicopters. They flew overhead for much of the night making sure the Brooklyn Bridge didn't disappear over night (or to ensure they'd have live coverage of the event in case it did).

So the plan to work from home for a bit has run into a couple of snags. First, we have the entire air fleet of the NY press corps flying overhead. Second, someone, somewhere, decided today was the day to jackhammer in front of the house. I have managed to muck around with my weblog stuff to add some sort of indication when I post via email (while munging the email addresses to prevent spam harvesting. At least that's the theory).
