Every fall I visit New York, I am always confronted with hurricanes. Fourteen months ago, I witnessed Hurriane Irene. Two days ago I was reminded by Hurricane Sandy. To average Californians, those hurricanes are like fires and earthquakes. But looking around, I have found the locals just minding their normal business. The only signs I can detect are: Paul bought the last five candles at a CVS on Maple Street, people were lined up in Sam's Club for bottled water and Hui's apartment has a little difficult time finding tenants as people are being distracted. Other than these signs, people are very calm. Ying even chuckled when we called him to postpone his invitation of tomorrow's dinner to next Sunday.
