Wasnt even a swimmer in my dad's nuts yet but I have heard a bunch of stories. Hopefully nothing like that happens again. I think people today would be much more helpless. Eh, we survived the blackout of 2003 pretty well. Somehow a whole lot of us got home from Manhattan that day. We're New Yorkers. We're resilient, and we hate each other most days, but times like that, we band together. I remember folks giving out water on the way back to Brooklyn. And there was little to no rioting and looting, unlike 1977. Gen X'rs are such pussies.

Not like those baby boomers who went all Lord of the Flies in '77 at the first sign of a little adversity

I was grabbing rich pussies in Harbor Acres; on the beach at the end of that road. Looking out from Sands Point - total blackness...somehow we all grasped what was going on in manhattan...wasn't Berkowitz a menace at that time? I recall looking over at the Bronx and wondering about a blackout with that madman nearby.
I think I started grabbing with both hands

I recall looking over at the Bronx and wondering about a blackout with that madman nearby. I think I started grabbing with both hands That was indeed the Summer of Sam. Crazy times ON Long Island. _ Went to spend a month in Ireland with family in June. Right before we left, Berkowitz shot two kids in a car near Elephas Disco on Northern Blvd, just blocks from my house. Then, in Ireland, we watched the Blackout chaos unfold on TV, I remember my parents giving knowing, frightened looks to eachother as more footage of the rioting and looting appeared on the screen. I remember "Jesus, Mary and Joseph" being whispered softly over and over again by the assembled Irish cousins and my parents. We had no idea if our home would be there when we got back ( though our area remained generally unscathed as it turned out.) Years later, I would work with cops who lived through it. They told tales of Going into work wearing only a Uniform shirt and jeans, armed with Helmets, shotguns (their own), ax handles and chains....they battled for days, with Police trucks driving around distributing ammo to whatever cops they ran into, throwing it out the back. Very apocalyptic time to be 14 years old. The world didnt seem to offer much hope or a future... and then I found out my sister got her pussy grabbed near Sands Point by a babbling lunatic.
