They  seemed  to  be  really  serious  about  Sandy.      School  closed.    Library  closed.    Utility  companies  keep  sending  alerts.    Some  grocery  stores  have  run  out  of  batteries,  and,  water.    I’ve  never  really  experienced  a  hurricane.    Yes,  I’m  intrigued.    OK.  Curiosity  finally  beat  me.    This  afternoon,  I  decided  to  make  a  “field  trip”,  in  the  name  of  research-­‐-­‐-­‐    “What  business  will  stay  open  on  a  hurricane  day?”

What business is more likely to stay open on a hurricane day??

For  fun  only;  not  for  accuracy:  )

However, even in the worst situation, you can always expect the best!!

NO, I don’t really mean cool ice cream & hot apple cider!

Page 8: Field Report on Hurricane Sandy's Visit to Brookline

I  mean…  

this  guy,  

Who  makes  the  best  apple  cider,  

Who  stays  cheerful  on  a  lousy  day,  

Who  tells  you,  

“My  dad  would  say  -­‐-­‐-­‐    

This  would  be  a  beautiful  day  in  

Ireland.”  

-­‐-­‐-­‐  End  of  report….Please  take  care,  

and  stay  dry!  

Btw,  who  can  tell  me  why  they  asked  you  to  get  your  flashlight  

ready?  When  the  power  is  out,  I  assume  all  you  need  to  do  is  

drinking  and  sleeping.  What  is  flashlight  for?
