I thought it was the church at first, but on the way back I saw tons of cop cars stopped along the Saw Mill (right where the road passes underneath by the P.O.). Maybe a car on fire? It was just smoke by 9:15. I saw that on the way to drop Charlotte off at school–there were serious flames!

This would lessen the crowds considerably in Penn Station, no?

We're just lucky it made people wise up enough to prevent Grand Central from getting torn down. I always seem to think that one had to die so the other could live. Makes it sound like a terribly corny movie that would get shown on Lifetime, or something. Oh Penn Station… we really have only ourselves to blame for that.

The card is extremely convenient, but you can always pay out of pocket if you have to and submit your expenses for reimbursement.
