Election Day Run

I considered spending last night clicking refresh on my browser to follow election results instead of running.  With CNN casting results on the Empire State Building, I realized I could run and follow the election.  After all, my run was early enough that nothing would be called.

I went out for my four mile run and by the end not much had happened in election news.  I couldn't see the red side of the Empire State Building meter, but today we know what the results were - so I guess it didn't matter too much.

CNN used the Empire State Building lights to broadcast results.

I was glad for my view of the Empire State Building.  Brooklyn Bridge Park, where I do most of my running is currently closed from dusk to dawn as a result of Hurricane Sandy.  In addition, the Statue of Liberty is still dark.  It was great to see lights in lower Manhattan, but I'm eager (as most New Yorkers are) for a completely recovery from Sandy.
