I wish folks would really act like Americans and go beyond their own

My oldest son lives on the 31st floor of a lower Manhattan high rise
apartment building that still has no elevators, water, heat or power.
It's not easy but he and his wife are getting along OK and walking to
work. I'm in touch with him just about every day by phone or EMAIL.
He reports that progress is being made, albeit slowly. Slow is
understandable since that area has very old infrastructure and his
building had 3 feet of water in the lobby and a totally flooded
basement. He says that crime and looting have been minimal and that
all of the emergency service groups are doing everything they can.
