Ride between the lines...

Had an adventure trying to get into work today. Thanks supposedly to Hurricane Frances, subways and roads were flooded which made it an Herculean task to get from Elizabeth, New Jersey to Jamaica, Queens. I tried the F line uptown from 34th street as I always do but they weren't even letting people into the station. Then I tried the E line but only made it a couple of stops before they said they weren't going to Queens like they're supposed to. I finally had to take the C to the J all the way to the end and walked. I got there at 10:45 when I normally get there by 9. Oh well, everyone else was late too.
